Overview
- Co‑founder Dao‑Yi Chow wore the bespoke midnight‑blue anorak on the New York Fashion Week runway as the designers took their final bow, presenting the piece as one‑of‑one and valued at about $200,000.
- The jacket was created with KAY, which supplied the round and oval stones, and it features more than 500 hand‑chosen diamonds that designers say are each at least one carat in size.
- Chow described the garment as the collection’s 'hero piece' and said the diamonds were treated conceptually like raindrops to express elements and preparedness within the spring/summer 2027 collection.
- The stones were hand‑applied to Italian lambskin in a labor‑intensive process that combines fine‑jewelry craft with menswear design, and no retail availability or production run for the jacket has been announced.
- The showcase builds on Public School’s relaunch strategy of high‑visibility collaborations and marks the duo’s first use of fine jewelry on clothing, a move likely to deepen the brand’s luxury crossover profile and attract further attention.
