Designed to be recognised, never explained.
Black Meridian is a button-up shirt built around one idea, carried at full scale. The artwork is printed at the size it was drawn, not shrunk to fit a panel.
Colour first. Explanations later, if at all. This one takes a single motif and lets it run — at full scale, unapologetic, sized for the good part of the evening. Cut from a 95% polyester, 5% spandex blend, and finished so the artwork reads at full volume.
Black Meridian is not a subtle piece and was never trying to be. It is the one thing in the drawer that decides the rest of the outfit.
Works against plain white, raw denim, black linen and very little else — which is exactly the intention.
Black Meridian starts as artwork and stays artwork — drawn at scale, then fitted to the garment rather than shrunk onto a panel.
The palette for Black Meridian was pulled from things that hold colour badly in photographs and beautifully in person: pool tile, late light, painted shutters, cheap plastic sunglasses.
