Puffer Button Up Shirt
Carol Christian Poell Sample Puffer Shirt. Enigmatic artisan CCP is a revered, established designer even outside of the 'avant-garde' dark fashion circle it was originally associated with in the mid 2000's. Poell's individuality and intricate design techniques outshined and more importantly outlived visually similar labels that had more singular gritty narratives which arguably shared some aesthetic principles with CCP. The respect for the designer is well praised, ubiquitously, by creatives, critics and connoisseurs alike for his zealously conceptual approach to challenging fashion design's norms, as if the execution to said challenges came naturally to him. Growing up in leather trade and a scholar tailor, CCP is involved in every step of his design process from fabrics, to dye processing, to even the 'marketing' where he displays his work only when he deems necessary. Diffident to interviews, independent from trends, meticulous in his design approach, CCP is a master at his craft and a slave to nothing. Puffer shirt is stuffed with synthetic insulation similar to those in some puffer jackets. Mellow tangerine dyed, as with many CCP pieces, has a murkiness with beautiful dynamic color range. Cut Slim 9/10 condition. Sz 48 fits close to chest medium.$600 -
