Indigo dyed Ritual Dress
An early sample of the Ritual Dress naturally dyed with Sarah Jonhson in the back garden when we lived together in St Ives Cornwall.
It’s rich in indigo blue and made from a canvas I brought back from a German Canvas Cloth maker on a market in Berlin.
The Ritual Dress is a playful and adaptable garment that has been an evolving focal point for oB for some years. It wraps and ties around the body with the ability to be worn in a multiple different ways by alternating the overlapping bodice and skirt, wrapping and tying the straps in different ways or even wearing it back to front.
This piece came about from the wish to create a dynamic piece that brings us into closer relationship with our bodies and a sort of everydayplay to emerge from the often overlooked tactile dialogue of getting dressed and undressed.
