In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Knit Cloak brings to life Luna’s powerful artwork from his piece Empingated. The design situates an anthropomorphic man amidst the jungle of life experiences, struggling with his own mortality. As death reaches out to him with an embrace, the man attempts to resist, hiding a knife behind his back in hopes of slaying death and living on. The cycle of life and death is represented by “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death), with the inclusion of the anglicized Cuban explicative, “Pinga”, hinting at the inevitable, chaotic outcome of the struggle. TheEmpingated Knit Cloak serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of existence and the inescapable reality of death.
Crafted from 80% Merino Wool / 20% Mohair, the Empingated Knit Cloak is made from luxurious natural fibers that provide both warmth and softness. The breathable fabric makes it suitable for wear throughout the seasons, while the mohair adds durability and texture. This cloak is both an artistic expression and a practical garment, offering comfort without compromising style.
The Empingated Knit Cloak is a statement piece that drapes and moves with the body, allowing the wearer to embody the symbolism and ideology conveyed by the artwork. The cloak’s design offers both dramatic flow and luxurious comfort, making it a bold addition to any wardrobe. Whether worn for special occasions or as a powerful layering piece, the cloak enhances any outfit with its commanding presence.
