Item of the week: the patchwork denim jacket

What it is:

In the era of upcycling, brands have taken to adopting the DIY look in designs of their own. One method the aesthetic has been translated into is through patchwork detailing, formed using contrasting materials that are layered or sewn together in an either haphazard or more geometric fashion. On the runway, such a technique had been particularly applied to denim jackets, providing an update to a classic and recognisable design for both men and women.
