PAW*16 - Faux Petal Cardigan

A faux petal cardigan. Like the shorts matching shorts, the design inspiration for this piece comes from the look and structure of foliage with the asymmetrical lines intended to resemble large palm leaves while the staggered hem was meant to resemble the petals of a tulip in bloom. Though this piece features the same buttons as the shorts, they serve a more practical purpose. The button closure extends to the side seam, following the lines of the fabric which reminds me of rocks sitting on the shore of a flowing river, which is exemplified when the closure is undone.
