Textille en fibre d'ananas

Swedish beauty Veronica Ekdahl stands out on the runway in an effortless cocktail dress in bluish silver. Joel cleverly keeps the silhouette simple to make the fabric stand out. This creation is made entirely of hand-woven and hand-embroidered pineapple silk, a textile that is indigenous to the Philippines. Piña fabric, from the Spanish word for pineapple is beautiful and lightweight, reflective of the easy and light-hearted disposition of Filipinos. For women in Scandinavia, a striking dress done in this unique fabric will surely be an interesting conversation piece.
