We call this 'Map Print' but it's, obviously, an aerial photo of an urban landscape showing sinuous, arterial highways, railway lines, factories, municipal buildings, houses, parks and what have you rendered in an inky indigo and related tones. I think this piece is definitely at the 'bleeding edge' of my present aesthetic but, in fact, is not the first time I have explored the theme of maps in apparel. We had a very radical map suit in 2006, based on an Ordnance Survey view of Norfolk. A mesmerising, dramatic single button cuff, tailored fit, conspicuous piece, if you enjoy being the centre of attention!
