NO. 19

NOT's Mini Jacket Capsule was inspired by the desire to create tailored jackets that allow the body to move freely, without restriction. Designed with an emphasis on space across the back and shoulders, each of the three jackets explores a distinct approach to expansion - where functionality and design are inseparable. The Ripple Jacket features slits that allow the body to expand within the openings. The Origami Vent Jacket layers varying degrees of drape to accommodate stretch and extension. The Diagonal Pleat Jacket utilizes sculptural box pleats that open and close with every movement. Each jacket is a fluid gesture - responsive, expressive, and ever-changing.

Designer Jenny Lai collaborated with New York-based, Chilean-Greek dancer and choreographer Elena Vazintaris to imbue the jackets with the dynamic energy that they were designed for.
