This time, I’ll be attempting to recreate the legendary scorpion jacket, designed by Erin Benach, made by Richard Lim, and of course worn by Ryan Gosling as The Driver in Nicholas Winding Refn’s 2011 neo-noir cult classic, DRIVE.

Where does this jacket come from and what does it represent?
Is the Driver literally me, you, anyone or everyone…
and what’s really up with the scorpion?
Bonus question… Is denial a river in Egypt?
