HANDWOVEN FABRICS  •  DESIGNER CLOTHING

I used my textile background to create a different approach to clothing. I first designed and made a handwoven fabric. I took the result and worked a garment around the particulars of each fabric, adding bolt fabrics or other items as needed. I used natural fibers - rayon, cotton, linen and silk. I made each piece as a one-off or limited studio run. A well-known line of scarves and some homeware items were also part of the studio production. The concern with color, pattern, the hand, and simplicity gave my work a recognizable mark. I sold couture and wholesale to stores nationwide for 20 years. The clothing found its way into film, television and magazines.
