Julia Heuer

Julia Heuer is a brand that is best known for dynamic prints and artisanal, handmade plissé. Before launching her eponymous fashion line, she was the Head of Print Design for renown textile company Jakob Schlaepfer. During her tenure she created unique prints for various fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Comme des Garcons, Calvin Klein and others. Most recently, Heuer was awarded the prestigious Swiss Design Prize in 2016 for her Adobe Indigo collection. Each piece is hand pleated in the traditional technique of the Arashi Shibori. Each item that you receive is individually handmade. Pattern placement, pleating and measurements may vary as each piece is rolled around the tubes by hand and bound with thread before it goes into the oven to change its shape permanently. Through this process, ghost pictures can appear on the print. We would like to inform our customer that those irregularities are no mistakes but a sign of a valuable handmade process, and a sign for a Julia Heuer piece.
