This garment is part of a collaboration with textile artist Graham Keegan. A skilled natural dyer, Graham works out of his studio space in Echo Park. Each dye batch is small, and done by hand for quality, and consistency. He uses a variety of natural dyes, and this collaboration shows off his work with Madder root dye. The mottled appearance of these pieces is a characteristic of hand dyed items. All of the collaborative pieces are limited edition, or one of a kind. Jill and Graham select fabric together for quality, luster, and hand. Pattern and layout of the clothes has been carefully engineered. Certain of the pieces have been dyed with a folding process that requires precision, and can take over an hour for a 2 yard piece of fabric. Jill designs the garments, and cuts each one individually. The result is a one of kind dress or top.
