Shadowy
Since its establishment, expanding creative horizons by exploring its own cultural roots has been a key focus of KOSSU. Starting with the SHADOWY Series, KOSSU has combined the intangible cultural heritage silk LUO technique to embark on a new journey of expression of KESI. The design and development process cleverly combined the techniques of "warp-passing and weft-breaking" and "twisting warp", presenting a multi-textured effect with blending reality and illusion. While preserving the powerful sculptural aesthetic of the WISP Series, this collection is starting to cultivate a distinct expression style that merges manual artistry with mechanized manufacturing.
About 'LUO'
Luo, originated from the traditional weaving technology of the Warring States Period. Suzhou is the hometown of Luo. The Luo produced in Suzhou has an unusually light texture and smooth feel. The surface of the fabric shows a faint relief effect. It has little friction with the skin and is easy to dissipate heat. It was the favorite summer clothing material of the ancients. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Luo's weaving skills became more sophisticated and became a leader in silk fabrics. Unfortunately, during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, due to the difficulty of weaving and high production costs, weaving techniques were almost extinct due to the impact of foreign cloth. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and its skills are shrinking day by day. Moreover, due to the impact of foreign cloth, the weaving skills are almost extinct.
