WARDING OFF THE EVIL EYE:

This jacket is an exploration of different cultures commingling along a common theme: the evil eye. The evil eye has been prevalent in many rich cultures, both ancient and present. Looking at two diverse cultures that have deep roots, African and Japanese cultures converge in this garment to show how technique and print can marry along one thread.
