Online event, hosted on Zoom by Nadia Albertini
Nadia Albertini is a Franco-Mexican embroidery and textile designer based in Paris. Her interest in embroidery started in Mexico City at just eight years old, when her grandmother taught her the basic stitches for the first time. Embroidery has been her language ever since…
She pursued her interest in hand stitching by studying textiles in Paris at the École Duperré Paris and got her Textiles MA from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Since graduating she has worked with fashion houses such as Chloé, Chanel, Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Schiaparelli, Jason Wu, Dries van Noten, Tory Burch and The Row, among others. Working closely with the creative directors, she imagines and develops embroideries for their ready-to-wear and haute couture labels. She works with artisans all over the world, from the historical embroidery houses in Paris, to the most talented artisans in Italy, India and Madagascar.
With her latest projects, the week-long haute couture embroidery learning opportunities in France and Italy, Nadia shares her passion for the history of embroidery, while enjoying fabulous surroundings and exploring the local textile arts scenes.
Nadia’s first two books on the topics of Rébé and Kitmir were published in 2021 and the latter in 2023.
Meet the Maker event description
This talk will be organised in three distinct parts. Nadia will introduce herself, her career and her embroidery design practice. She will explain how she works on an embroidered item, from the mood board, inspiration and research, to the various material choices, the sample development and its making, as well as the less-known process of the embroidery placement on paper patterns which is intricate yet crucial for a successful fashion piece. She will share the catwalk pieces and her favourite pieces from her embroidery samples collection, spanning from the late 17th century to today.
The second part will be dedicated to her historical research around haute couture embroidery and the fascinating journey of discovering Rébé, a forgotten embroidery atelier.
The third and last part will be dedicated to the March 2025 workshop introduction. Nadia will detail where the inspiration for this floral artwork comes from, the story behind the motif as well as the material choices she has picked for this creation. She will briefly explain the techniques we will learn during the workshop and the level of difficulty.
Nadia Albertini will be hosting an online 3D Beaded Embroidery workshop on Saturday 8 March & Saturday 15 March 2025. To book your place visit our website HERE.
