Exhibition History

Exhibition History

Evolution Revolution

February 22 - June 15, 2008

Sophie Roet began freelancing in Paris in 1991 for Studio Edelkoort, meta-designer Li Edelkoort’s design think tank. Throughout the 1990s Roet’s repertoire flourished as she worked with the trend-forecasting service and publisher Trend Union, developing textiles for fashion designers John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Gianni Versace, Georgina von Etzdorf, and Eskander. Known for fusing high and low technologies, she has become a sought-after designer herself. Paper Textile, from a private commission for a French chateau, uses rapierloom technology. After the fabric was woven, it was hand worked by Brigid Bailey, Roet’s student, to open areas of the wefts, creating a sheer, almost lace-like effect.
