A direct translation of Cedric Mitchell’s sculptural language into garment, Modern Funk Jacket I reimagines the body as a moving canvas. Cut in deep black, the piece features the collections initials "MF" on the front while the back acts as a grounding field for a burst of graphic intervention punctuated with vivid, abstracted forms orbiting the phrase “Funk Is Form” in a composition that feels both spontaneous and rigorously balanced.

Arcs, dots, and jagged motifs collide in rhythmic sequence, creating a sense of motion that reads differently with every wear. The contrast between the controlled silhouette and the playful visual language mirrors the tension found in his objects, where precision meets improvisation.

Hand-cut and sewn as part of an early apparel study, this one-off sample exists as a prototype of possibility: a sculptural extension made wearable. Never produced, it stands as a singular artifact from the origin point of Mitchell’s Modern Funk ethos applied to fashion
