Jacket

Juan Gonzalez, better known by his designer name Erman, creates one-of-a-kind wearable art made from reclaimed fabrics and materials and non-wearable works made from wood, ceramics, and paper. Influenced by his personal history as a Cuban refugee, his work addresses themes of migration, transculturism, exile, and displacement. This jacket made from found fabric was created during a residency in Miami in the 1990s, when he first began using reclaimed and vintage fabrics to create garments.
