Hand-printed linen Gilet with a natural, lively texture
The Gilet is an expression of well-considered textile art. The natural linen fabric was printed by hand, its coarse structure lending the print an openwork character that belongs to each model quite individually. The traditional blue of blueprint dyeing forms a fascinating blend with natural linen. The metal buttons carry the Fibonacci pattern, which decodes the basic forms of nature.
Hand printing
A hand printing technique for textiles has been known since the 18th century. Its basis is the Model, the printing block: a solid length of wood into which the block cutter drives fine brass pins according to the motif. In demanding handwork, the negative of the sought-after motifs is created in this way. Correct mounting of the fabric, careful inking of the Model and finally the precise placing on the cloth make up the skill of a true master hand printer. A slight offset in the pattern, the so-called Modelzaumstond, proves the authenticity of hand printing and makes every garment unique. The valuable Model blocks 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. G\u00f6ssl 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.
