Block Poetry Shirt

A study in hybrid form, this shirt merges the structure of vintage workwear with the ease of a classic T-shirt. The relaxed silhouette moves naturally with the body, while an invisible zipper introduces a quiet element of adjustability at the neckline. Reinforced seams and a structured hem ground the piece in durability and long-term wear. Featured as a graphic accent, an embroidered block poem envisions the dichotomy of awareness and escapism as an exploration of language and meaning through repetition. The poem was first made on a typewriter, then digitally translated into individual stitches, and machine applied on the fabric, adding a highly graphic and textural element to the garment.
