Elemental colors, the juxtaposition of airy transparency and earthy texture reminiscent of the subtle growth of lichens, are the stuff that becomes the graceful, sensual clothing that are the creations of Reyen Design Studios.

Silkcloqué© is what we call our unusual fabric, cloqué being a French word describing the textural appearance of blistered paint, whereas in textiles it refers to working two disparate fabrics together in a way that makes them crinkle or bubble.

We achieve this look by felting Merino wool into hand dyed silk fabric. The result is an exceptionally unique 3-dimentional fabric. Sometimes formfitting like fine garment leather, sometimes the transparent gossamer of a dragonfly wing. It is soft with excellent draping abilities, yet has non-woven sculptural qualities that allow it to be shaped around and hold a form. These traits lend both fabric and fashions a distinctly organic look of having been grown rather than made.
