ESTRADA "C-7" ASYMMETRIC DENIM VEST

A structured vest developed as part of a formal-casual study translating automotive precision, Diesel construction language, and UK drill aesthetics into a tailored context.

Unlike traditional tailoring, this piece is defined by a directional panel system that moves across the body rather than following standard vertical or horizontal constructions. Layered fabric bands are placed to create a controlled flow, guiding the eye diagonally and disrupting conventional garment symmetry.

The silhouette remains close to the body, allowing the surface construction to become the primary focus. Through this, the vest shifts from being a supporting garment to an active visual element within the look.

Developed through pattern experimentation and layered assembly techniques, the piece explores how directional construction can redefine structure, creating movement without relying on volume.

A study in guided motion—where tailoring is used to redirect perception across the body rather than simply frame it.
