In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Knit Crop brings to life the powerful imagery from Luna’s piece Empingated. The artwork situates an anthropomorphic man within the jungle of life experiences, struggling to face his own mortality. As death reaches out to embrace him, the man tries to resist, hiding a knife behind his back in a desperate attempt to slay death and live on. The cycle of life and death is represented by “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death), with Luna’s use of the anglicized Cuban explicative “Pinga” hinting at the inevitable, chaotic outcome of the struggle. This design captures the tension between life’s forward motion and the inescapability of death.
Crafted from 80% Merino Wool / 20% Mohair, the Empingated Knit Crop is made from luxurious natural fibers that provide softness, warmth, and durability. The combination of merino wool and mohair ensures a comfortable, breathable feel, while the open-knit design adds texture and dimension. This crop is perfect for layering or wearing on its own, offering versatility and luxury for any season.
The Empingated Knit Crop is designed to accentuate the human form, cutting midway on the torso and following the natural curvature of the waist. This cropped silhouette offers a flattering, modern fit while embracing the raw, emotional intensity of the artwork. It’s a piece that merges meaning with style, designed for those who appreciate bold statement pieces with depth.
