ZIMMERMANN

Cascadian strapless midi dress in floral print
Associated craft: Tapestry weaver

Tapestry weavers create intricate textile compositions by interlacing threads on a loom from a prepared design. Thread by thread, patterns emerge through patience, precision and a refined understanding of colour.

Florals

Inspired by nature, florals have transcended generations and continually evolved. Delicate or vibrantly oversized, they combine nature’s most beautiful shapes and colours in a timeless visual language that evokes poetic softness and energy.

Ikat

Distinguished by its softly blurred outlines, Ikat patterns are created by dyeing threads before weaving. The technique produces a vibrant, feathered effect that almost appears in motion. Rooted in ancient traditions, it continues to evolve through a contemporary lens.
