Women of The Bauhaus: The Weaving Workshop

  • Lydia Downton

The weaving workshop, a collection for Acne Studios, explores the extensive textile work of some of the leading female students at the Bauhaus such as Gunta Stölzl, Anni Albers and Otti Berger. Through my research, I have discovered that many women struggled to gain an equal acceptance to their male counterparts within the school. The rich heritage of these women is mirrored in the complex textures and structures of the textiles explored in this research. This collection celebrates these revolutionary works, through print, embroidery and fabric development in line with the considered, multidisciplinary approach at Acne Studios.
