Label copy

For this dress, we collaborated with a mill in England that made ties for schoolboys. This dress was made from a beautiful black warped silk that we punctuated with Swarovski prong-set crystals-a crazy thing to do with such a fragile fabric. We screened the lining of the dress in Dallas. We worked with a drapery printer who could do nine-foot repeats because their market was interiors, specifically curtains. We screened our linings without pigments, just with emulsions. In many cases our linings were more expensive than the exterior fabrics.
