ESTRADA "C-7" RECONSTRUCTED BUTTOM SHIRT

A structured shirt developed as part of a formal-casual study translating automotive precision, Diesel construction language, and UK drill aesthetics into a wearable, foundational piece.

Unlike traditional shirting, this garment integrates a vertical panel system directly into the construction, using repeated stitched channels to create a controlled linear rhythm across the body. Rather than acting as decoration, these lines function as a structural language that subtly reshapes perception while maintaining a clean, wearable silhouette.

The piece retains classic shirting elements—collar, cuffs, and front placket—while introducing tension through controlled interventions in the surface. This balance allows the garment to operate as both a functional base layer and an active design element within the look.

Developed through precise pattern work and construction detailing, the shirt explores how minimal intervention can still direct visual flow and reinforce identity
