A recent addition to the studio textile collection is a mini-dress from Claire Bloom, the label by Claire Brinsley.

Claire Brinsley established her label in 2005 and creates her pieces in Queenstown, New Zealand. This piece is inspired by the 1960s and it is the classic shape that highlights the woven fabric of black circles on white. For some more detail of the weaving and the finishing on the piece see the photographs below.

The photograph above shows the dress in a 1960s interior. The picture was generated by ChatGPT, and the curtains in the background are part of the studio collection. They are a British furnishing textile but not attributed to a company or designer; the selvedges are blank. The last picture in the gallery below is of the design of these curtains. Any information would be appreciated…
