A stack of vintage fabrics at Andrea Aranow’s archives — Andrea has been collecting fabrics all over the world for six decades, providing inspiration to every fashion house on god’s green earth, and building a truly stunning wealth of textiles. We have spent many hours softly patting stacks of perfectly folded fabric squares and gazing into the eyes of vintage Japanese futon fabric swatches as their hues shifted almost imperceptibly in the thin light allowed into Andrea’s studio. Stay tuned for an interview with Andrea about her life, the fashion world and her very beautiful obsession, coming soon.
