HAND-PAINTED COAT
Liam Hodges
2013
This hand-painted nylon and wool coat formed part of Hodges’ pre-collection, created before his Royal College of Art MA graduate collection. It is a hybrid of a nylon MA1 jacket and a wool military-style coat and has a surface pattern that is a mixture of sublimation printing and hand-colouring using ink pens.
