What is Devoré? Copy Copy
February 11, 2025
Devoré, derived from the French term "devoured," is a fabric manipulation technique that creates intricate patterns by selectively removing fibers from a blended textile.
The process involves screen printing with Devoré paste to remove desired areas, burning out the cellulose fibers (often the velvet pile) while leaving the synthetic or protein-based fibers (such as silk) intact. This results in a striking, semi-transparent effect where the treated areas appear sheer, contrasting with the untouched fiber. Often used in fashion and decorative textiles, Devoré adds depth, texture, and elegance, making it a versatile choice for luxurious designs.
I aim to reimagine Devoré by elevating this historical technique to create something truly luxurious and personalized. Devoré offers endless possibilities for customization, allowing every gown to tell a story. Whether reflecting a bride’s heritage, favorite imagery, or unique style, each creation becomes a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, unlike anything else in the world.
