Designer Spotlight: Madeline Weinrib Textiles as Clothing

Argentinean designer Soledad Twombly, designer of the label SOLE by Soledad Twombly, has just launched a new collection that incorporates the fabrics of  ikat queen, Madeline Weinrib.

The collection’s fifteen pieces celebrate Twombly’s love for exotic Central Asian textiles, mixing Weinrib’s signature handmade ikats with Twombly’s signature rich Italian fabrics like velvets.

There was a trunk show in NYC last week, and one is scheduled for Rome in early November.
