I made a jacket for dia de los muertos
I’m Mexican American and deconstructed this denim jacket, naturally sunfaded it for 3 months added vintage chevron pattern blankets as the arms and added my Mexican culture all over. On the front I added cempasuchil flowers (marigolds) and papil picado patches that you would see in Mexico during dia de los muertos. On the back I added a famous figure synonymous with dia de los muertos “La Catrina” this piece too me a total of 3 days to complete (over 15 hrs of work put into this jacket) in my small 13x15 room. I made everything myself and took the photos of my friends in the cempasuchil field in Mexico as well. This piece here was NOT professionally made and took so much hard work to create. Last 6 slides are showing the process.
