The Viridi-anne Early Archival "Destroyed" Wool Jacket
Product Overview A striking example of early-era craftsmanship from Tomoaki Oao’s label, The Viridi-anne. Rooted in fine arts and dark artisanal design, this tailored jacket explores themes of entropy and decay. By taking a traditional structured blazer and subjecting it to extreme manual distressing, the piece bridges the gap between classic tailoring and post-apocalyptic avant-garde aesthetics.
Key Design Elements
Manual Fraying & Tearing: The defining feature is the extensive, horizontally slashed distressing across the entire outer shell. This manual "destruction" creates a 3D, textured fringe effect that shifts and moves with the wearer.
Fabric Composition: Constructed from a 100% Wool outer layer, which allows the frayed edges to hold their aggressive texture. The interior is fully lined with a premium 100% Acetate and 100% Cupra blend, ensuring a smooth, comfortable fit despite the chaotic exterior.
Signature Hardware: Features the brand's iconic oxidized metal chain neck-loop positioned just below the woven label—a hallmark of early-to-mid era The Viridi-anne tailoring.
Anatomical Tailoring: Beneath the distressing lies a sharply tailored silhouette with structured shoulders, a multi-button cuff, and an adaptable collar that can be worn down like a traditional lapel or popped up for a more severe, darkwear aesthetic.
