About the artwork.
Kiss of the Wolf (a loose translation of Bacigalupi) started creating handmade clothing in the 1970s. Over the years, the Bacigalupis traveled, explored the potential of fabric as a material, and built a business focused on handmade clothing. The Long Star Wars Vest reflects a love of silk and its versatility. In addition, it embodies an appreciation for ancient and modern techniques in fabric design.
