Our 2010 presentation is:
Ocelot-Itajime Clothing – Bold and Timeless
June 3 - 3-, 2010
The month of June 2010 promises much stimulation in Vancouver. Angelina DeAntonis will be coming to town to show her dynamic, distinctive clothing line, Ocelot, and share the secrets of its creation. DeAntonis’ signature graphic style is based on the Japanese itajime technique, which clamps folded fabric with flat pieces of wood or similar material to create areas of resist when dyeing. The result is unique clothing that has been compared to architecture for its bold simplicity.
The Silk Weaving Studio and Maiwa (Granville Island, Vancouver) are proud be collaborating ,to kick off the monthlong Itajime: event with a fashion show and lunch. Then, for the month of June, the Ocelot line of clothing will be featured in an exhibit at the Silk Weaving Studio. Sharing the spotlight with Ocelot will be BC jeweller Jan Smith.
After 13 years, DeAntonis continues to dye and make her clothing by hand, largely using natural dyes, and shaping garments to her exacting specifications. She will be divulging the mysteries of itajime in a 3-day workshop sponsored by Maiwa.
