Vibrant Hex is a coat made of Nigerian reverse appliqué, an art form in which two layers of fabric are sewn together to create a design. The design is marked on the top fabric, then parts of it are cut away and hand stitched to reveal the background fabric. Sometimes other fabrics are slipped underneath the top fabric to add extra color or texture. Vibrant Hex uses eight different Nigerian hand dyed fabrics to fill the 391 hexagons. The lining is Nigerian hand dyed satin.
