Diedrick Brackens is using tapestry for his artistic language, elevating this painstaking medium, weaving time and place together, the threads of our world.

 ‘Cotton is the primary material because it is a very easy material to manipulate, it takes color beautifully and its historical significance in the U.S. relative to enslavement, violence and subjugation has had lasting effects on black bodies,’ he says. ‘I think of the process of hand weaving cotton as a small way to pay tribute to those who came before me and worked with the material under very different circumstances.’ Diedrick Brackens

MO Bordeaux

Collaborating since 1995 on costumes and accessories for the performing arts MO Bordeaux have this year branched out to release a distinctive collection of coats and jackets. 

"Each piece is handmade from tapestries embroidered in cotton. Each tapestry tells a story. This fabric, rich in folk tradition and already worked by unknown hands, nourishes our imagination. By choosing scenes from the tapestries, we compose a new story and create a unique piece of clothing." MO Bordeaux
