In collaboration with world renowned artist Carlos Luna, the Empingated Knit Top brings to life Luna’s powerful artwork from his piece Empingated. The design depicts an anthropomorphic man caught in the jungle of life experiences, struggling with his mortality. As death reaches out to him, ready to transition him into the next phase, the man attempts 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 the contrasting themes of “La Vida” (Life) and “La Muerte” (Death), with the inclusion of the anglicized Cuban explicative, “Pinga", hinting at the unfortunate outcome of the conflict. The design captures the complexity of existence, highlighting the inevitable and sometimes chaotic nature of life.
Crafted from 80% Merino Wool / 20% Mohair, the Empingated Knit Top is made from natural fibers that provide warmth, softness, and durability. The luxurious combination of merino wool and mohair ensures comfort and breathability, making this top a versatile and stylish piece for any season.
The Empingated Knit Top is designed with a tailored silhouette that elongates the body, offering both structure and elegance. The classic v-neckline enhances the fit, making this top a flattering piece that wraps the wearer in both the meaning and the craftsmanship of the design. This piece beautifully embodies the complexity and beauty of life, while also providing comfort and style.
