“Uzbekistan was the conduit not only for the exchange of products and goods throughout the ages, but also cultures and ideas,” says Silvia Furmanovich to @jill_sieracki in her article for @galeriemagazine for this morning’s The Artful Life section. “As a brand, our top priority is to preserve craftsmanship in all its myriad forms. Through this trip, we were able to collaborate with female silk weavers deep in the Fergana Valley, a key site of trade within the Silk Road. We were also deeply inspired by centuries-old ikat and suzani fabric traditions to create our new collection.” Thank you @jill_sieracki for your exquisite piece!
