THE BIG CRUSH: MEET OUR NEW TEXTURE
Posted:
This season we present a new texture – the crushed silk. Bold and elegant, this technique can transform a simple T-shirt into a statement piece. The crushed texture adds drama to simple lines, elevating silk to an even higher level.
Our new summer collection brings five crushed silk styles: the Relief Tunic, Tank and Pant (already in store), the Charted Tunic and the Assent Tunic (coming soon). Try combining the Relief Pant with any of the crushed silk tops for an edgier look, mix it with different textures such as pleats.
This week we show you that these pieces are not only elegant and versatile, but also easy care. To maintain the crushed appearance of your silk garment you need to follow this simple procedure: once washed, remove excess water by squeezing silk between hands, do not wring. Allow your piece to semi-dry in shade. While still damp, gently twist and knot the garment. Place in a hot water cupboard or similar shaded, warm place to dry. Starch that is safe for silks may be used before crushing. Leave to dry for 24 hours. If still damp, re-twist and repeat final drying process.
