AFRICAN RESORT WEAR: BATIK AND DENIM

This men's two-piece overall and shirt ensemble was created out of batik fabric from Zanzibar, Africa and repurposed denim.

​

The overalls are comprised of reused denim patches that cover the front and back, and batik shorts and straps. There are inset pockets in the front, and a patch pocket in the back. There are adjustable straps, and a lot of fraying to go along with the repurposed and resort theme. 

The shirt is also made of a woven African scarf, with a modern v-neckline. The armholes and neckline are finished with a denim binding, and the visible seams in the denim act as a design feature.

​

This ensemble was completed during the second semester, junior year, and was also featured in Syracuse Fashion Week 2018.
