Bloomia Vest

Every garden needs a wall, and here cornflower blue does that quiet work, holding a small crowd of flowers in their beds: a red bloom, a sunflower, a daisy, round medallions in between. Turn around and the back opens into one large radiating wheel, as if the garden had a fountain at its centre. Raised petals give the front a texture your fingers notice before your eyes. Throw the vest over a cream knit or a crisp shirt for a gallery afternoon. Sleeveless and open, it moves freely and breathes. Each square is crocheted by Anatolian hands, and no two flowers open quite alike.
