"Sophie Hong is an internationally awarded clothing designer and textile researcher. Sophie Hong’s eponymous brand was founded in Taiwan in 1977. Sophie Hong creates not only a beautiful design aesthetic but a whole way of relating to the natural world through her use of Mud Silk. This ancestral Chinese process involves soaking a piece of mulberry silk in yam juice, then slathering the fabric with river mud and spreading it out over the earth, exposing it to the sun and natural elements for several months. The resulting textile, called Gambiered Guangdong Silk, has a special leathery patina redolent with essences of nature — silk, grass, river, sun, earth and the rhythm of ever changing temperatures."
