Embroidered shirt Babylon XX in Black

The linen shirt is inspired by the standard of Ukrainian poetic cinema, the film Babylon XX by Ivan Mykolaychuk. Its prototype flashed in a short scene of the movie. We made the shirt from semi-lightweight linen, a modern analog of the traditional Ukrainian serpanka*, using the cut-out technique. The shirt is decorated with tassel ties and floral embroidery on the chest. The shirt is quite versatile: it is equally suitable for special occasions, hot trips or everyday city walks. It looks great on both men and women. 

*A serpentine is a lightweight, transparent fabric similar to gauze, but more dense. It is made of cotton, linen or silk threads in a plain weave, where the warp threads are wrapped in pairs around the weft threads, creating a delicate, transparent effect.
