Weaving in Fashion- Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012

Burberry Prorsum's Spring/summer 2012 collection confidently showed a theme of traditional inspired weaving, using natural yarns and a rich, warm colour palette to take a twist on the original Burberry check weave. An African influence is noticeable throughout the collection from the choice of wooden beads, orange and brown colours, raffia-like woven fabrics and embellished woven belts tied around the waist. 

The art of weaving

Mimi Jung's weaves are constructed with colourful yarns to create these unique, organic wall hangings. The stripes and earthy colours resemble landscapes and the combination of textures give an outstanding tactile quality.

Palm tree bark was also used with yarns in the weaving below to add an intriguing texture whilst attaining that organic appearance.
