GBSB Ep4 Inspiration: Mexico Week
Colour, embroidery and bold details inspired our favourite fabrics, trims and patterns from episode 4 Mexico Week of the Sewing Bee.
This exceptional Italian cloth has a very pale sage green hue. Soft, muted and wonderfully understated, the colour has a delicate washed quality rather than a strong green tone, making it an elegant alternative to cream or stone.
The cloth is equally impressive. Woven from cotton, cashmere and a smidgen of elastane, it has a fine twill construction with an extraordinarily soft, almost peachy surface. At around 270gsm, there is enough body for beautifully shaped trousers and tailoring, while a touch of give across the width makes it comfortable to wear. We can see this making superb chinos, wide leg trousers, softly tailored jackets, skirts, overshirts and structured dresses. Italian ex-designer fabric of this quality is a rare find, and the combination of cashmere, weight and that subtle pale sage makes this colourway particularly special.
