THE FOREST POND – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
Art Meets Nature. Wearable Masterpiece.
Inspired by Fred Williams' iconic 1974 painting, 'Forest Pond,' this Joe Bananas handwoven raw silk jacket is a stunning interpretation of the lush Australian wilderness. Paying homage to Williams’ signature textural brushwork and abstract landscapes, this weave translates art onto fabric, capturing the rich depth, light, and movement of his masterpiece.
THE ART OF THE WEAVE
- Handwoven Raw Silk – Expertly crafted to mimic the organic texture of Williams' intricate brushstrokes.
- Deep Forest Greens, Earthy Browns & Vibrant Blues – Echoing the dappled light and rich foliage of an Australian bush pond.
- Textural & Immersive – A tactile experience, as mesmerizing as the painting itself.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – Pair with charcoal wool trousers, a crisp sky-blue or soft olive dress shirt, and deep brown leather boots for refined sophistication.
- Dress It Down – Wear with dark-wash denim, a deep green or navy tee, and suede loafers or rugged boots for a modern, artistic edge.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Every Joe Bananas silk jacket is woven by hand over 250-300 days, ensuring that each piece is as unique as the brushstrokes of a Williams painting. With only a handful available, this jacket is as rare as the art that inspired it.
A TRIBUTE TO AUSTRALIAN ARTISTRY
Just as Fred Williams immortalized the Australian landscape, this jacket carries his vision and spirit into the world of fashion. A fusion of fine art and timeless tailoring, it allows you to wear a masterpiece—an effortless blend of natural beauty, craftsmanship, and undeniable style.
Step into Williams’ landscape. Wear the art.
