I cannot wait to check out this textile exhibit at Cristina Grajales Gallery in Manhattan.  Hechizoo Textile, working with skilled weavers and artisans, creates rugs, upholstery and curtain fabric as well as architectural screens and meshes.
The innovative use of materials also sets Hechizoo apart from other textiles.

They came patchworked at Fendi and Acne, positively ferocious at Lanvin, and in the form of an ultra-plush peacoat at Burberry Prorsum. At Chanel, everything from the house's classic tweeds and quilted,<a href="http://fabricstockexchange.com/blog/fabric/are-you-faux-real-fur-fabrics-take-over-the-runway/" style="border:none;"> ...Read More >></a>]]></description>
