“To comprehend art is to confide in a constant” said Anni Albers in 1984. Josef and Anni, two lovebirds and pioneers of 20th century modernism, met shortly after Anni’s arrival at the Bauhaus in Germany in 1922. At the time, Josef had been practicing as a sculptor and furniture designer, making glass assemblages for houses and buildings. Anni enrolled in the weaving workshop at Bauhaus, and met Josef as a mentor who helped her practice for the admission. A rebellious and ingenious Anni quickly invented herself as a bold abstract artist, introducing overlapping lines and patterns in her work. She experimented with raw materials and components of sculpture texture as the source of design and beauty.

As an homage to their enmeshed lives, we created our unique tight-knit technique. We cut up our Cloud Cotton fabric into long strips, stretching and creating tension in order to hand-sculpt. With an added bit of dimensionality, this dress feels like an object on the body. A modern spin on formal whites, we envision it to be a part of those extra special occasions—like civil weddings, and as an accomplice when renewing vows. In black, it becomes a timeless part of your wardrobe, perfect for evening parties.
