Suede

is a type of leather with a napped (raised, fuzzy) surface.

Traits of  thinness and suppleness allows for its versatility as

clothing fabrication.

Once traditionally used as

material for attire worn during the cooler clime,

suede is now applied as fabric for all seasons.

…

It is textural.

It can be  dyed to yield a full range of fashion fun colours.

It can be constructed into all types of core clothing pieces:

trousers, tops, skirts, coats, jackets.

It is a fashion fabrication perennial:  suitable wear for all seasons.

…

For 2015 and beyond

for spring warmth to winter chill wear-

the suede scene has become fashion wardrobe de rigueur

featuring creative colour and singular silhouette.

Faustine Steinmetz

is a designer with a new vision for denim fabrication.

A graduate of both The Atelier Chardon Savard, Paris

and Central Saint Martins, London-

she launched her label in 2013

With a clear artistic directive in mind and a loom in hand,

she has created a visually engaging look and texture to denim-wear.

 

…

“I think artisan techniques are my biggest source of inspiration.”

designer, Faustine Steinmetz

…

She states simply that,

“it’s all recycled denim that I’ve re-felted.”  (quote from vogue.co.uk)

Yet achieving the finished piece is anything but simple in execution.

Rather, it is a method expertly thought out and intricately constructed:

“Each fabric is solely handwoven by one person

using one of our traditional hand looms. 

Each piece is meticulously made by hand,

with some pieces taking over a week to weave.” 

(quote from faustinesteinmetz.com)

Ms. Steinmetz’s approach to the design and fabrication

of denim-  a wardrobe staple –

is that of a true artisan:

hand-crafted, inventive, detailed and of singular beauty-

Masterful!
