Women's Ember Relic” Deconstructed Mesh & Patchwork Two-Piece Ensemble Artwear Set · Hand-Distressed · Sculptural Street Couture

The Ember Relic Two-Piece Ensemble is a radical expression of post-industrial fashion—where decay becomes design and reconstruction becomes art. This striking set merges raw utility, handcrafted imperfection, and avant-garde silhouette work into a wearable statement that feels discovered rather than manufactured.

Top — Deconstructed Mesh Patchwork Pullover

The cropped pullover features an open mesh upper layer that creates transparency, airflow, and depth, layered over irregularly cut fabric panels. Distressed denim fragments are hand-applied in asymmetrical formation, intentionally frayed and left unfinished to expose threads, seams, and tension points. The wide neckline and relaxed sleeves give the piece a draped, sculptural quality—balanced between fragility and strength.

Every tear, stitch, and raw edge is deliberate. No two panels align perfectly by design, creating a garment that feels archaeological, as if assembled from remnants of past lives and reborn into something new.

Bottom — Layered Utility Skirt / Drop-Short Hybrid

The coordinating bottom piece redefines proportion and movement. Built with layered panels, gathered volume, and irregular hems, it blurs the line between skirt and oversized shorts. The elasticated waistband offers comfort and adaptability, while the tiered construction creates dramatic flow and texture with every step.

Earth-toned gradients—burnt orange, oxidized brown, charcoal, and faded black—appear naturally weathered, resembling sun-scorched fabric and time-worn workwear. Frayed hems and uneven panel lengths emphasize motion and raw authenticity.

Design Philosophy

This ensemble is inspired by:

• Post-apocalyptic utility wear
• Wabi-sabi imperfection
• Reconstructed work garments
• Art-school deconstruction
• Underground street couture

It is not about polish—it is about presence.
