I also painted on this jacket for myself. I got inspired by doing this to a coat in her whimsifying her wardrobe series and I had to give it a shot.
Her work was heavily inspired by who is heavily inspired by senior cords with started at Purdue in the early 1900s as a way for friends to commemorate the year on a pair of cord pants. Love it.
I used the acrylic pens she mentioned in her reel and they were glorious to work with. I set the dry paint with an iron and wash on cold/delicate and it’s held up great if a tiny bit of fading but that’s it. So stoked with this jacket and can’t wait to make more pieces like this!
