Every Nani IRO fabric begins life as a watercolor painted by Japanese designer Naomi Ito. Delicate strokes capture the interplay of nature, light, and emotion in designs that play with the idea of color itself. The pattern is then transferred to premium textiles using state-of-the-art printing technology. The result – a wearable work of art.
“I hope my textiles will be like the
scenery you see when you close your
eyes – filled with memories, light, and
warmth.”
Naomi Ito
In Naomi Ito’s designer print Hana no toki niwa a scattering of watercolor flowers flutters across a solid background. Generous open space lets each blossom breathe and the vivid, cheerful colors stand out.
“A sky clear as crystal, offering a bouquet of poems. When flowers bloom, offer flowers. Carried by the wind, swaying in the sky, I offer them from my heart.”
Naomi Ito
As its name implies, double gauze is woven in two layers. It is essentially two fine, loosely woven panels joined together at points at regular intervals. Ordinary, single-layered gauze is quite sheer and not terribly strong; its loose weave makes it easy to damage. Combined in a double layer it gains durability and stability while still retaining its airy lightness and wonderful breathability.
This fabric looks great in loosely cut garments like casual tops, tunics, dresses, and wide pants. Let the print stand out in simple cuts – a wrap-around dress, a tunic, a boxy sheath dress, a full skirt – or give a nod to Japanese tradition and try your hand at a summery kimono jacket. Can you see this print in your interior? Why not make a set of curtains.
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. Because this is a delicate fabric, select a lower spin cycle; gentle handling will prolong its lifetime.
