Reexamine your assumptions about the humble art of sewing as author Clare Hunter - whose book 'Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle' was the spark for the Autumn-Winter 2021-2022 Haute Couture collection on.dior.com/couture-aw21-22 by Maria Grazia Chiuri - reveals the overlooked history and influence of this most universal of crafts.
Clare Hunter is a community textile artist, curator & author based in Scotland. Threads of Life is published by Sceptre, Hodder & Stoughton (UK), Abrams Press (US), Bollati Boringhieri (Italy) & Uitgeverij Balans (Amsterdam).
