Bailen "Baiflix" Estrada: The Spoken Lens
We met Bailen about a year ago while he was documenting the creative process of Malik Yusef and Bad Kids. We kicked it, and spent time exchanging thoughts on the role of artist...
In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Bomber Jacket brings to life the striking themes of mortality, life, and death from Luna’s work Empingated. The embroidered artwork depicts an anthropomorphic man caught in the jungle of life experiences, wrestling with the inevitable truth of his own mortality. As death reaches out to him with open arms, the man hides a knife behind his back, hoping to slay death and prolong his life. The design contrasts the cycles of life and death through the Spanish phrases “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death). Luna’s piece adds a winking commentary with the Cuban explicative “Pinga”, suggesting that the entire dynamic is “F*cked.” This garment captures the tension between life and death, offering a powerful visual narrative on both the internal struggle and the cycle of existence.
Made from Cotton Poly Spandex Denim, the Empingated Bomber Jacket combines durability with stretch for a comfortable fit. The fabric is soft yet sturdy, perfect for daily wear while retaining its structure. Whether you’re sharing the artwork with the world or keeping it personal, this jacket offers lasting style and a meaningful narrative.
The Empingated Bomber Jacket offers a modern, relaxed fit with functional details. Fully reversible, it features inner and outer pockets, giving the wearer the freedom to decide how the message is shared. Whether worn with the embroidery visible on the back or hidden on the inner panel, this jacket offers versatility while making a bold statement. Its bomber-style silhouette and clean design provide both comfort and style.
