Turkey, Gönül Paksoy, Wrap-Around Silk Skirt With Brocade Hem

Made in Turkey by Gönül Paksoy, this wrap-around skirt is crafted from an old woven silk textile, giving new form to a fabric with an existing history. The surface reveals the character of the original weave, while the wrap construction allows the material to fall naturally around the body.

The hem is finished with a collage of silk brocade fabrics, creating a subtle contrast in texture and pattern. Raw silk binding frames the edges, reinforcing the handmade quality of the piece. A button closure at the waist provides structure while preserving the simplicity of the silhouette.

Entirely hand-stitched and naturally dyed, the skirt reflects a slow and deliberate making process. As a one-of-a-kind garment, it stands as an individual composition shaped by the available textiles and the maker’s approach to reuse and construction.
