Habutae Silk dresses by Anna Excell

Posted by on Apr 30, 2009 in 2009, Markets

When I first saw Anna Excell’s dresses I felt like I was getting transported to Thailand. Anna’s dresses are incredibly simple. They are a bit like sarongs but much longer and made with 100% Habutae (Japanese) silk. The fabric is hand drawn and printed by Anna herself using Riso/screen print.

One might say it’s nothing special. Yeah well, I say beautiful things are, more often than not, uncomplicated. I can see myself wearing one for many occasions. One such occasion might be a dinner party at home. What would you say?

    Hi Sharon

    Thanks for dropping by. Anna is still a student so she is busy finishing her study I believe. I asked her if she would like to get in touch with people regarding sales. I asked her permission to post her email address and waiting for her response. If you would like to drop me an email I could give you her address.

    Cheers
