HERMÈS silk scarf 'VOYAGE EN ÈTOFFES', by Annie Faivre, Enwurf first published in 2009. 100% silk. Fine pieces of clothing are arranged on wooden supports in a colourful puzzle. The clothes reflect the spirit of a people. Coats, dresses and tunics are unique and universal. This balanced design shows what textiles and techniques have in common worldwide. Between linen, silk, cotton and hemp, between batiks, ikats, indigos and embroidery, echoes and similarities can be found here and there. The geometric decorations of South America resemble those of the loincloths of certain pygmies. Each piece tells the story of the people who made it. 140 x 140 cm. Hand-rolled hems. Signs of wear, stains.
