The Hand-Painted Gothic Hoodie in faded washed black terry cotton is from Balenciaga's 53rd Couture Collection. It is made in France.
Large volume hoodie made in washed black French terry cotton, with 3/4-length wide sleeves and hand painted artwork.
This artwork showcases the embellishment technique of hand-painting on garments. A real Balenciaga model was photographed, and the image was digitally enhanced with specific decor and artwork.
Once finalized, artist Abdelhak Benallou was commissioned to directly hand-paint onto the hoodie. He used traditional oil paint techniques. The process took approximately 70 hours.
This process is meticulous, realistic and precise, making the artwork appear as if it were a printed image rather than a painting.
A layer of aluminum has been added to the sleeve so it can be styled with a crinkled effect.
The garment is hand lined with black scuba satin.
