Nicola Top

This jacket uses a sharp, wide-set collar to frame the collarbones, dropping into a waist-nipping peplum silhouette. The structural integrity comes from a substantial twill, while the front is anchored by four traditional Chinese-style knot closures that bridge the gap between historical craft and contemporary tailoring. It functions as a sculptural top, trading standard blazer lapels for a clean, architectural neckline.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of polyester and rayon, both of which are energy-intensive, chemically processed fibers that offer low breathability and can trap heat against the skin. The reliance on dry-cleaning suggests the use of chemical finishes or fabric treatments that may pose risks for sensitive skin or long-term dermal exposure.
