Gant ‘Blank Canvas Project x Kilo Kish Bouclé Varsity Jacket’ - $1,800.00 (sold out)

Rather than opt for actual Chiefs merchandise, Taylor opted for one of her go-to outerwear brands in Chiefs-approved colours that also included some stars (do u like dem?). I’ve found that on a number of occasions opting for Chiefs colours in otherwise normal street style garments has been her strategy for away games.

This particular jacket was part of a trio of designs Gant executed in collaboration with artistic talents as part of their “Blank Canvas Project” campaign. The concept being to “[transform] the quintessential symbol of American Sportswear into wearable works of art.” The artist in question, Kilo Kish, said the “inspiration behind [her] design was Ivy League culture” - an extension on the themes she explored on her album American Gurl. As with much of Gant’s ethos, the brand’s objective to create modern pieces that are not only heirloom quality but that riff on Americana athletics is such a natural integration into Taylor’s game day style. The added bonus is that each of the Blank Canvas designs had 100% of its sale proceeds go towards a charity of the artist's choosing - something I'm sure Taylor could get behind having done her own share of philanthropic donations on each of the stops on the Eras Tour.

Kilo added when designing the jacket, “When people see the jacket, I want them to feel the playfulness and I want them to feel like it’s personalized and almost homemade looking.” That homemade feeling has been a personal touch also present through Taylor’s game day fashion. Where, in a world of seemingly endless options, Taylor has shown a level of care and intention to opt for small businesses (local to KC or women-owned) or items that are handmade (Kristin Juszczyk’s jacket and Kut the Knit’s crocheted beanie as just two examples).

As for the ‘CTFL’ on the jacket - my best guess (as confirmed by the artist themselves) is the FL is a reference to Kilo’s home state of Florida and the CT to Gant's headquarters in Connecticut. Which is also paid homage to in Gant’s FW 2023 collection with varsity jackets honouring New Haven, Connecticut and its Ivy League school Yale that Kilo also wore in campaign imagery for Gant.

F.Y! by Adriano B., 3 Sep. | GANT Unveils Its FW23 Collection Inspired In “AMERICAN ACADEMIA”

American academia takes the spotlight in the new GANT Fall/Winter 2023 collection, showcasing iconic varsity-style sportswear with a premium edge.

Gant FW 2011 - Mathias Bergh

Some of my favorite pieces today - vintage Brooks Brothers OCBD, a really nice Gant sweater with like a micro cable knit pattern, my fantastic suede bomber jacket, also vintage Brooks Brothers, Madewell jeans and my suede longwing bulchers from Grant Stone. I’m also wearing my Oris Diver 65.

I can’t recommend buying quality pieces on eBay enough. You get burned on occasion, but the deals you can score are just incredible. I paid like $75 for this suede jacket.

Gant ‘240 Mulberry Street Tailored Coat’ - $1,700.00

If indeed intentional, this sandwich styling moment is not only a repeat (one of Taylor's key style pillars) but a smart repeat that creates an immediate Fashion History callback moment.

The last time Taylor wore this coat was to the Chiefs December 10 game against the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs happen to be playing the Bills again on Sunday as part of the playoffs (where I assume Taylor will also be in attendance in one of the boxes at Highmark Stadium).

Worn with: The Row dress, Manu Atelier bag, and The Row boots

To celebrate my first ever October free from schoolwork and uni, I have decided to try and participate in @ailesswhumptober! I'll try to do as many days as I can and we'll see how it goes. All my entries will be published on ao3, where my handle is OneLastLullaby. I will be tagging all the entries as #lisa writes whump so block that tag if you don't want to see them! Here's day 1!

Summary: the Flower of Fates is a soldier's way to go out, and Shale always knew he'd die with a sword in his hand and at least one more in his gut. His only regret is he didn't manage to get Gant home first. Hopefully, that's something forty summers of love can forgive.
