A two-piece oversize silk costume in black — a shawl-collar blazer with an open, draped back and wide straight trousers. WAGI is the name of this model in STRUGA's EXPERIMENTAL family. Silk, not silver: sewn to order in about two weeks.
WAGI comes from the LAB world, where STRUGA steps beyond jewelry into clothing and object design. Black is the most uncompromising reading of this cut: the silk is even and dense, with no pattern, so the silhouette becomes the whole subject. The oversize cut carries the body, not the other way around. Silk, designed and hand-sewn in Bali.
Material: 100% silk — a garment, not jewellery; no 925 silver and no metal weight here.
Model: WAGI — the name of this costume, not a clothing line; family EXPERIMENTAL, LAB world.
Colour: black — even and dense, no pattern.
Form: shawl-collar blazer with an open draped back, wide straight trousers; oversize women's cut.
Made to order: about two weeks.
Care: gentle hand-wash at low temperature or dry cleaning; no bleach, no hot drying, iron low.
How the costume is cut
The blazer is long and oversize. A wide shawl collar crosses low on the chest and closes on a single concealed fastening — no visible buttons, no topstitching along the edge. The back is open: below a narrow collar band the silk falls away and drapes into a low cowl at the waist, so the jacket reads as closed from the front and bare from behind. The trousers sit high on a flat waistband without belt loops, with one pressed crease running down each wide straight leg to the floor. The two pieces are worn together or separately.
How the black differs from the other three WAGI colours
WAGI is sewn in four colours. Cut, silk and price are the same across all four — colour is the only variable, and it decides how loudly the costume reads next to dark silver.
| Colour |
How it reads |
| Black — this one |
Even and dense, no pattern — closest to the brand's own silver |
| Red |
Even, saturated red — the one loud colour of the four |
| White |
No print, no visible hardware — the widest contrast with dark silver |
| Beige |
Warm desert neutral — the quietest of the four |
Who it is for, and when it is worn
The black WAGI is the one to choose when the silhouette should do all the work: nothing in the fabric competes with it, and the open back is the only thing that turns. It works as a whole set — an opening, a shoot, a night out — and it is worn piece by piece, the blazer over anything plain, when the full costume would be too much. Silk breathes, so the oversize cut stays comfortable in heat. This is the colour that sits closest to STRUGA's own silver: RITUAL and CODEX objects read against it without contrast.
Worn as a silhouette in its own right. Women, oversize cut.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova. Most of the brand's objects are 925 sterling silver, handcrafted in Bali by master silversmiths and left to darken with wear. This costume is not one of them: it belongs to the EXPERIMENTAL family in the LAB world, where STRUGA steps beyond jewelry and carries its sculptural language into silk and cut.
