One of the most fascinating techniques on the planet is Shibori. Originating from Japan, the term refers to traditional resist dyeing methods wherein fabric is folded, binded or twisted to create complex, textured designs. For Hiroyuki Murase, the designer behind Suzusan, this concept takes on a whole new life.
As a fifth generation artisan, Hiroyuki’s family has been practicing this art for over 100 years. In fact, his hometown of Arimatsu, Japan, is a mecca of the craft. Today Hiroyuki Murase of Suzusan takes this centuries-old practice and translates it for the contemporary wardrobe, creating lush, sophisticated motifs across cashmere and alpaca knits. As the year winks closed, please enjoy this small, plush delivery of blues from the Suzusan studio.
