Germaine

The cropped Germaine top — made of soft Japanese velvet, sculpted with couture techniques, in either a black or bordeaux colorway — is as much a standalone statement piece as it is a versatile layering option: wear it alone, bare shoulders exposed, or wear a turtleneck underneath. Add a blazer over that. Wear it with high waist, wide leg trousers or your favorite pair of vintage jeans. Or a skirt! Whatever makes you feel most confident. After all, the Germaine top is named after Germaine Greer, leader of the second wave of the women’s movement throughout the sixties and seventies; champion of sexual liberation. What else is there to say about this top, then, other than that it’s entirely yours to enjoy.
