The Fold, a renowned women’s tailoring brand, has made an exciting announcement about its first-ever collaboration with esteemed artist Sue Arrowsmith. This collaboration comes at a time when the fashion and art industries are increasingly joining forces to create unique and groundbreaking collections. The highly anticipated limited-edition collection, called The Fold x Sue Arrowsmith, showcases six exquisite pieces that were meticulously designed in-house at The Fold’s prestigious London atelier. Notably, the collection is crafted using luxurious silk chiffons and jacquards, delicately woven in a dazzling winter palette originating from Lake Como, Italy.
What sets this collaboration apart is the integration of Arrowsmith’s distinctive willow motif, which was inspired by her renowned painting titled “Dance Through the Darkness.” By merging the artistic prowess of Sue Arrowsmith with The Fold’s mission to celebrate female talent throughout the design process, this collaboration is truly exceptional. The brand has previously collaborated with highly skilled female artisans on hand-painted prints and woven jacquards for its collections, solidifying its commitment to supporting and promoting women in the industry.
Design Director Katya Maschenko was captivated by Arrowsmith’s extraordinary use of color and texture, prompting her to reach out to the artist for a collaborative project. Together, they have created an extraordinary capsule collection that reimagines elevated eveningwear, seamlessly blending The Fold’s sophistication with Sue Arrowsmith’s artistic vision.
Originally known for its women’s workwear offerings since its establishment in 2012, The Fold has expanded its range to include occasion wear as well. The latest collection, with prices ranging from £350 to £895, can be purchased on thefoldlondon.com and at their flagship store in the trendy Chelsea neighborhood of London.
This collaboration between The Fold and Sue Arrowsmith is a testament to the growing intersection of fashion and art. The limited-edition collection presents customers with a rare opportunity to own a piece that harmoniously combines The Fold’s exceptional craftsmanship with Sue Arrowsmith’s artistic genius. As the fashion industry continues to merge with other art forms, collaborations like this serve as a catalyst for groundbreaking creations that push the boundaries of creativity.
