Textile at The Tavern: Craft Heritage Fusion--Japanese Shibori and Modern Fashion

Delight in the autumn colors and shibori shapes brilliantly animating the Fall 2024 collection by Suzusan, internationally acclaimed design studio based in Dusseldorf, Germany and Arimatsu, Japan.

Meet Hiroyuki Murase, Creative Director and chief designer of Suzusan. Hiroyuki is the mastermind behind the fusion of shibori heritage craft with contemporary design in fashion, home, and living. The Murase family in Arimatsu, Japan have been masters and innovators of the shibori craft for five generations.

Meet Yoshiko I. Wada, a formidable textile scholar and the author of two definitive publications on shibori. Yoshiko, along with Jack Lenor Larsen’s seminal publication, established the “Dyer’s Art” in the West.

Relish an opportunity to exchange ideas and share inspiration with these two influencers of fashion design and textile scholarship. It's also no small matter to acquire Suzusan's exquisitely designed and crafted products-- their no-seam cashmere knits and other fine textiles hand-dyed in Japan.
