Oscar de la Renta: 'Crafted like a mosaic, discover the making-of the #odlrfall2024 stained glass gown — ushering in a a new House-signature embroidery technique.'

Constructed from hundreds of polyamide panes, hand-sewn together in an Art Nouveau style reminiscent of Tiffany glass. Ready-to-wear: £36,546.

It's all woven on our 8-shaft loom, designed and woven to represent the patterns of wood grain. There are four colors in the warp and one in the weft. The warp has an echo threading over eight shafts as described in Weaving with Echo and Iris by Marian Stubenitsky. All of the yarn is 8/2 cotton sett at 24 epi on the loom. There is no repetition in the treadling pattern, which helps create that dynamic and natural look.

Isn't she brilliant?! It looks JUST like wood, and if you're a weaver, you know how difficult it can be to get an organic look without a jacquard loom.
