Tapestry Reverie

Category: Apparel

Tapestry Reverie is a collection inspired by gobelins- handcrafted textiles that carry stories from the past. These woven artworks invite us into dreamlike, utopian scenes and offer a moment of stillness in a fast-moving world. By reinterpreting traditional techniques I grew up around, the collection blends nostalgia with contemporary fashion. It's a tribute to craftsmanship, patience, and artistry often forgotten today. Gobelin tapestries and tailoring share a deep connection in their demand for precision, time, and skill. Both involve intricate handwork and attention to detail. I designed oversized, structured jackets from vintage tapestries to highlight this shared artistry. These garments are meant to preserve the soul of the original works, while reimagining them in a fresh, wearable way. Sustainability, to me, begins with craft. I believe in slow, thoughtful production that values quality and story. My work is rooted in upcycling, using materials like gobelins and biodegradable deadstock wool. These practices not only reduce waste but honor the cultural and emotional significance of textiles. I embrace imperfection, durability, and conscious design- where fashion becomes meaningful and responsible. Gobelins, made from 100% cotton canvas and wool or cotton embroidery threads, are renewable and biodegradable. By upcycling these textiles, I breathe new life into discarded art, preserving its beauty and meaning while creating new narratives through fashion. This collection is about slowing down, reconnecting with handwork, and finding beauty in what’s been left behind.
