Studded Jacket
I was cleaning out my room and I found a million studs from my senior year at university (posted about this a few days ago, finally got around to finishing the lining), so I had to find a way to use them. It wasn’t easy studding this jacket because I had to rip the lining out of it and re-sew it after the studs were secured. What I was most excited about was adding these dangling studs that almost look like needles. They make jingly noises as the jacket moves.
Pucci Leggings.
Natalia Brilli leather covered bracelet.
I found this knitted dress in a Salvation Army recently. It has sequins woven into the knits, its completely see through and perfect for summer. I can’t believe I found this dress in a Salvos, felt very lucky. It sparkles a lot which is my favorite part, I thought it would look nice with the studded jacket.
I wanted to include this little video of how the dangling studs were added onto the leather jacket, the process is slightly different from studding. The video kind of explains the whole process without me having to take extraneous photos or having to add extra text. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
EDIT: For those of you interested in using these cone spikes for various projects, you can find some here

Oh wow. This jacket looks absolutely AMAZING. I would kill to own one.

Absolutely amazing!

Lovely and insightful, as always!

It came out so great. Where did you get the needle head studs? We are all dying to know.
June 7th, 2010 at 12:02 am
Ugh!
So graphic, right up my alley.
GLEAM THROUGH THE CITY ON YOUR PORCUPINE TIP
Excellent work, love everything.

Oh god you photography is just stunning. you capture the movement of the dangly spikes so well.

I must say, I love the Pucci double image…I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m also a little bit shocked [in the best way] that you even own something so bright and colourful.
I think the jacket is brilliant, but you already knew those words would be coming out of my mouth. From the teaser still to the final product, it almost brings every stud trend to a perfect closure. No need for more studded things, this is the final statement piece.
The Salvation Army dress find is truly a find, I think the pairing is wonderful and incredibly lux. I’m going through your post before this [Exotic Skins] and I’m wondering how many people who swore off your site forever [seriously? okay then] are currently peaking through and marveling at your craftsmanship.

It took me a good while to figure out the photo with just the legs! Glad it gave my brain an exercise! The studded jacket with the sequined dress you got at SA is great – love that you used a black background for your shoot!
June 7th, 2010 at 12:11 am
ahhhhh. i’m not surprised that you found that at salvation. I find all of my cool shit there!!!!! And my god. that jacket. kudos. that takes dedication
the last few photos are just awesome. metal/sparkles/blackness like stars in the night

Amazing <3

You’re amazing. Everything from the jacket to the photography is perfectly executed. Absolutely beautiful
June 7th, 2010 at 12:51 am
The jacket is awesome. Studding leather can end up being a long and tedious affair. I really appreciate the effort it took to stud and re-line it. The hardest tasks are always the easiest sounding.
Salvation army is so fruitfull. The dress looks hot.

Every post you make is always worth the wait. Of course, your crazy eerie Dr. Jekyll-ish video is always fun to watch, I just love it
June 7th, 2010 at 3:40 am
i love photos with a black background, you are like a constellation! amazing and poetic once again!
June 7th, 2010 at 4:49 am
Hi. I am wondering if you could do me a big favour.
I would love to use your dangling studs for my project.
I am currently living in UK and cannot find the stud which you used for the jacket.
Would you mind if I ask you where I can get a similar one?
Yours truly,
June 7th, 2010 at 5:31 am
I love all the pictures, and the pucci leggings and your studded jacket, i could go on and on here, in short you look fabulous, amazing, xoxo

Don’t like the jacket, not my style. But the amount of work that went into this leaves me in awe. You’re completely mad. In a good way.
June 7th, 2010 at 6:55 am
The jacket is stunning, and I love that you’ve recorded the process as well.
June 7th, 2010 at 7:02 am
brilliant as always Ji.

I am in awe. Phenomenal work you do!
My favorite ensemble is the jacket with Pucci leggings.
Your Salvation Army find is quite a treasure. Amazing what one can find on their racks.

It’s completed! Was waiting to see the final product after the studding. Such a bad-ass jacket! The dangling studs definitely adds on an interesting spin on the normal studded jacket. Also love the video on your work process. Hope to see more of those next time! Love your post as usual=)

the studs on the jacket remind me of a sea urchin somehow.
June 7th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
How much does that jacket weigh?
June 7th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Wonderful post!!
June 7th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Oh the agony in which I would do this to my jackets, great work!
June 7th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
GENIUS! Makes me nostalgic for senior year.
June 7th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Whoa, I love how it almost has the effect of a fur coat. Amazing work.
June 8th, 2010 at 2:50 am
GREAT WORK!
WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE HANGING SPIKES AND DIAMOND STUDS?
June 8th, 2010 at 7:20 am
my god… amazing!
June 8th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Wowza – you look like Michael Jackson’s long lost soulmate! Fantastic work on the jacket!
June 8th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Wow! I wonder, how do the needle- studs move on the jacket? As used in your photos they seem to go wild at the slightest rustle of the leather, almost as if they were on a spring catch.
June 8th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Love love lovee that Salvo’s dress. The jacket is not to my own taste, but that Salvo’s dress…. Phwoarrr!

What I am really gasping about are those awesome platform boots. Must. Have. Platforms. Will you ever so kindly reveal where they’re from?
Pretty Please?

Dear Luxirare,
I am in the process of studding a leather jacket myself and have just realized that I need to take out the lining as well. As I have never taken out the lining of any jacket before, I was wondering if it was as straightforward as it seems (rip the seams to take off the lining, stud, sew lining back on).
And do you have any other tips/advice?
Thanks in advance. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the dangling studs by the way. And the wedges.
Sincerely,
Steven
