Inspired by nostalgic childhood references, Origami Clothing has recently collaborated with the Mickey Mouse of monkeys, Curious George. This unique cross is heavily inspired by the iconic images and pastel color ways created by Margaret & H.A. Rey, whose first volume appeared in 1941. Pictures of the curious ape have achieved iconic status including George launching a fleet of origami paper boats into a river as well as George in an astronaut suit launching into space. These paintings of George are printed with high density ink over aqueous coating on a highly versatile fabric, Tyvek. The inside is lined with silk like mesh and RiRi zippers compliment the entire jacket. This tech Jacket is the first of many collaborations with Curious George.
The jacket is the first of many more collaborations to come and will be released in very limited quantities. After the jump many more detailed images.
