Japanese Ikat vest by Corlis Taylor

“I love using vintage fabric in wearable art. I used Japanese ikat fabrics that are recycled from vintage garments. The dyed threads are woven in intricate patterns. I used 40 different ikat pieces plus a few solid-color fabrics. Covered buttons round out the look of the vest.” – Coris Taylor
