ledthread's Profile

Bio

Ledthread is made by me, Layla, in lovely Red Hook, Brooklyn. I am inspired by peasant costume across the globe, particularly desert peoples and the Japanese. I use fine fabrics and skins, all of which are designer surplus, end-of-runs, or upcycled. My construction methods are my signature, flaunted only in the details (threadthreadthread). Ledthreads are meant to breathe and change as you wear them--clothing and decorating our bodies is a living (and by living, dying) process, and I want to wear that feeling of beautiful inevitable essential decay. My favorite garments are tattered, mended, and very fine silk.
