Embroidered shirt Babylon XX in White
Embroidered shirt Babylon XX in White
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.
