BABYFACE – LACE UP TOP

By DOOM & GLOOM – arts & crafts | Dachi

Sweet in the front, spicy in the back. The BABYFACE Lace Up Top is a rebellious reimagining of an original Younghearted x Paleface Swiss collaboration shirt, transformed into a unique baby-doll-inspired statement piece.

What started as a black graphic T-shirt underwent a complete transformation with bleach, scissors, pliers and a sewing machine. The result? A playful combination of dark aesthetics, delicate details and bold femininity.

The front features a subtle pattern created by bleaching through a layer of lace, adding a soft, romantic touch to the otherwise edgy design. Turn around, however, and the mood changes: an adjustable lace-up back reveals a more daring silhouette, allowing you to customise the fit to your liking.

The neckline and back lacing are reinforced for added structure, comfort and stability, so you can move freely without worrying about things slipping out of place.

A little sweetness, a little attitude and a whole lot of personality. For the soft-hearted rebels who know how to turn their back on the ordinary.
