This one-of-a-kind draped silk top has been created by London-based fashion designer and artist Bethany Williams for TOAST Renewed, constructed from silk scarves that came through the TOAST Circle Programme. They were originally different colours from different collections, so Holly at Orto Print Studio overdyed them to bring them into the same tone. If you look closely, you can still see the original TOAST artworks underneath.
“The shape came from my research into Manx heritage archives, where I was looking at historical garments and trying to create an antique feeling but reinterpret it in a contemporary way,” says Bethany. “Holly from Orto Print Studio hand screen-printed my Open Heart artwork over the scarves. I draped the scarves around the stand and Alex from Making for Change stitched them together. Open Heart is about letting your heart open after a period of darkness, and having the courage and faith to begin again without knowing the outcome. The artwork shows a woman beside a standing stone, with ancient stones and winter bracken creating the deep red tones.”
Overdyed silk scarves. Draped. Back zip.
This style is part of TOAST Renewed By, our limited-edition collaboration series, which sees garments transformed by guest artists through traditional textile handcrafts, honouring both their past and their potential future.
