technical mountaineering gear · 1990s hip-hop oversized silhouettes
A voluminous black puffer jacket with horizontal quilted channels creating a segmented silhouette. The synthetic down fill creates substantial bulk throughout the torso and sleeves, with the quilting lines running parallel across the body. The jacket features a high collar and appears to have a front zip closure. The oversized proportions extend well past the hips, creating a cocoon-like shape typical of contemporary streetwear interpretations of technical outerwear. Worn over blue denim jeans, the combination represents the athleisure trend of incorporating performance-inspired garments into everyday urban styling.
