{"product_id":"silk-degrees-1980s-colour-block-feather-fringe-silk-blouse-vip","title":"Silk Degrees 1980s Colour Block Feather Fringe Silk Blouse 'VIP'","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe fabric on this blouse is genuinely unlike anything else. Wide vertical colour blocks in emerald green, cobalt blue, amethyst and magenta are woven with a long fringe-like thread that catches and moves with every shift of the body, giving the surface a feathered, almost living quality. The base is a sheer black back ground, which lets the colour through in varying depths depending on the light, so the blouse reads differently from across a room than it does up close. Silk Degrees was a New Zealand label, and the ambition of this piece reflects what was happening internationally in the 1980s. The hem and neckline are finished in clean black and a back keyhole closes with a simple black cord tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe batwing sleeve drops from a wide, unstructured shoulder and falls generously through the arm, keeping the silhouette relaxed and voluminous across the upper body. This works especially well if you want fabric to float rather than define through the chest and arm. The black cuff and hem band anchors the volume at wrist and hip. Lay the tie over a black skirt for an evening out, or wear it loose over slim trousers. The fringe catches light when you move and be the statement this blouse deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeen to try on?
