OFF THE CUFF. Business on top. Personality underneath.
You know those businessmen who wear perfectly tailored suits, polished shoes, and then surprise you with the most colorful socks when they sit down? I've always loved that little detail. 😂
When I discovered Albert Racinet's L'Ornement Polychrome, a collection of beautiful ornamental designs published between 1869 and 1873, I immediately thought these patterns deserved a comeback.
So I imagined OFF THE CUFF, a fictional menswear accessories brand creating matching silk ties and colorful dress socks for gentlemen who take their careers seriously, but not necessarily themselves.
Using Racinet's historical illustrations from The Public Domain Review, I explored how these intricate 19th-century patterns could become a contemporary fashion collection through a custom Recraft Style.
The idea is to keep things elegant and understated above the desk, while letting a little personality show underneath it.
The brief motion study captures the style with impressive control.
Icon animations for a new project.
Having fun building this out 🙂↕️
Aesthetic!
