Turkey, Gönül Paksoy, Crimson Mosaic Silk Dress

Made in Turkey by Gönül Paksoy, this dress is crafted from an old, woven silk textile, allowing a historic fabric to be reinterpreted through contemporary form. The surface is marked by a dense mosaic-like pattern, revealing the depth and character that come with time-worn silk.

The silhouette is straight and relaxed, designed to let the textile speak for itself. Pleated silk sleeves introduce a subtle play of structure and movement, while the silk taffeta collar and hem provide a refined finish. Entirely hand-stitched, the construction reflects a slow and attentive making process.

Naturally dyed, the silk displays gentle tonal variations that are inherent to both the material and the dyeing method. As a one-of-a-kind garment, this dress exists as a singular piece, shaped by reuse, craftsmanship, and careful design choices.
