The Basil Hoodie features an original painting by Ashley Frank, digitally reimagined into a wearable art piece. The artwork began as a hand-painted canvas — Ashley’s reinterpretation of one of Marilyn Monroe’s earliest and most iconic portraits, captured around the time she married Joe DiMaggio.

In this image, Ashley explores a deeper layer of Marilyn’s story — the quiet ache behind her beauty, the strength behind her softness. During this period, Marilyn appeared radiant and in love, yet inside she was deeply hurting. That contrast inspired the symbolism of the basil plant — vibrant and full of life on the surface, but quietly in need of water beneath. You don’t see its thirst until it begins to droop.

Rendered in monochrome texture, the piece transforms from fine art into streetwear — a study in resilience, femininity, and hidden strength. It’s a reminder that beauty isn’t about perfection; it’s about tending to what’s real.

Made from luxurious heavyweight cotton fleece, the Basil Hoodie is soft, structured, and unapologetically honest — a blend of vulnerability and power, art and wearability.
