Abstract Circle Print Silk Bolero Jacket in Violet, Blush and Olive 'VIP'

Abstract Circle Print Silk Bolero Jacket in Violet, Blush and Olive 'VIP'

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The print on this silk bolero is not one you forget quickly. Layered concentric circles in violet, earthy olive, warm brown and pale blush roll across the fabric with the energy of a mid-century abstract canvas. The silk itself is soft and loved, with a fluid drape that moves easily at the three-quarter sleeve and opens cleanly at the centre front. The reverse is a calm, plain blush silk, giving the silhouette a quiet back view. The cropped, boxy cut falls just at or above the natural waist.

Because the hemline sits high and the silhouette is relaxed across the shoulders and chest, this bolero works particularly well layered over higher-waisted skirts or wide-leg trousers, where it draws the eye upward and gives the upper body visual presence. The open front means you control how it frames your neckline and bust. Those who carry volume at the hip will find the cropped length creates a clean horizontal line that lifts the overall proportion. Pair with a simple black column underneath to let the print anchor the whole look.

HISTORY: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiseries means a Western or, European interpretation of an Asian style and may not an necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!
