The Dietrich Blouse is a realization of Gabi’s dream — the silk organza was produced exactly as envisioned. Featuring a swirling, romantic motif with textural cutouts nodding to the inspiration from the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, who illuminated the power and prominence of goddesses in prehistoric European, matrilineal societies, the collection channels the spirit of these ancient figures. Sculptural shapes, motifs, and forms echo the grace and strength found in goddess artifacts.

• 100% Silk Base (Italy) Embroidery: 90% Cotton, 10% Polyester.

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather, and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
