hook + anchor
The reverse side of the bicycle dress reveals this nautical , simply rendered print of waves and red anchors , alluding to Red Hook ’ s historical usage as a port for docking ships and boats . Also made from 100 % organic cotton , this dress subtley connects to the town ’ s ability to sustain or rather , “ anchor ” itself in the face of disrupting currents and harsher times , such as its gradual and strong recovery from Hurricane Sandy . elisabeth burhenne natasha kumar reed st van brunt st process + details
Reversibility reduces wasteage of resources and wraps two looks into one , maximizing the usage and potential of a single form and turning it into a multi-dimensional construction that combines form and function .
The back plunges in a V shape to the waistline with a hook at the base to keep the segments together when separated from the skirt . This open back balances the high neck at the front and injects breathability and ease of movement .
