Silk shirt
Silk meets hand printing – airy, light and unmistakable
The shirt, with a front of silk satin and a back of cotton jersey, is cut loosely with a round neck. Slightly contrasting in colour, it combines true hand printing with fine flat-stitch embroidery.
Hand printing
A hand-printing technique for textiles has been known since the 18th century. Its basis is the Model, a solid wooden block into which the block cutter drives fine brass pins according to the motif. In exacting handwork, the negative of the sought-after motifs is created in this way. Clamping the fabrics correctly, inking the Model carefully and finally placing it on the fabric with precision are what make the skill of a true master hand printer. A slight offset in the pattern, the so-called Modelzaumstond, proves the authenticity of the hand print and makes every garment one of a kind. The valuable Modeln were mostly passed on from generation to generation, yet motifs are lost again and again. Every surviving, unforgotten motif is therefore all the more valuable. Gössl has devoted itself to the singularity of the patterns themselves and digitised them. In this way the old motifs are preserved and can at the same time be shown creatively in new proportions.
