Twee modellen met geborduurde jassen van de Wiener Werkstätte 1920 - 1930

This photograph shows two models wearing embroidered jackets by the Wiener Werkstätte. The sepia tone gives it this dreamlike quality, like a memory fading. It reminds me that artmaking is a process of layering and revealing, like building up and then stripping back. It's all about choices, what to show, what to hide, and how the materials themselves dictate the final outcome. Look at the jacket on the right, how the light catches those embroidered swirls. You can almost feel the texture, the raised threads, the hours of work it must have taken. The detail is incredible. The designs feel fluid, natural, almost like they're growing out of the fabric itself. It’s kind of like, a conversation between the maker and the material. The Wiener Werkstätte was all about bringing art into everyday life, and you can see that here. The way these jackets blend high fashion with handmade craft feels so modern. Think of the Bloomsbury Group or artists like Vanessa Bell. All of them were trying to blur the lines between art, design, and the stuff we use every day. It’s a reminder that art is always in conversation with the world around it.
