Step into the late 1980s with this rare, museum-worthy artwear sweatshirt by Fiorelle Paris Roan Los Angeles—a boutique label known for its cross-continental flair and hand-finished embellishments. This piece is a 3 dimensional wearable canvas, blending whimsical storytelling with tactile craftsmanship.
The front features a vibrant bicycle motif set against a stylized cityscape, rendered in a mix of embroidery, printed illustration, and hand-painted detail. The phrase “by Fiorelle” is painted beneath the design, confirming its studio-level origin and one-of-a-kind nature. Three-dimensional elements—fabric roses, pom-poms, metallic beads, and stitched florals—are hand-applied across the chest, creating a layered, sculptural tableau that evokes the spirit of late-'80s novelty fashion and artisan streetwear.
Shoulder pads add architectural structure, nodding to the era’s silhouette while elevating the garment’s editorial potential. The ribbed cuffs and hem offer classic sweatshirt construction, while the interior loopback cotton confirms its vintage authenticity. Made in Turkey from 100% cotton, this piece was designed with care and intended to be preserved—delicate wash instructions and “reshape dry flat” language reflect its artisan status.
