Cropped black leather collarless jacket over white scarf-neck shirt, embellished trousers

Leather recast as tailoring: a short, collarless, nipped jacket meets fluid wide trousers traced with sparkling seam lines, while silver-smeared eyes push the sharp black-and-white dandyism toward something theatrical.
