Title
Ione Rucquoi / Personalised Couture Fabrics
Description
Having qualified with a first class honours degree in textiles from Goldsmiths College, London, Ione Rucquoi now works from her studio in the centre of the Dartmoor village of Chagford.
Her unique fabric printing process combines fluid watercolour effects with intense, 3-D, highly-detailed imagery. This detail can be as exact as the finest botanical illustration, with colours that range from simple monochrome through all the hues and colours of nature. Subject matter can be as diverse as people are different; a collection of orchids, carnivorous plants, an aquatic reef, tropical forests with exotic birds and insects. Recent works have included an engagement dress showing fatsia japonica, venus fly traps, bamboo, orchids, flies and snakes and a stormy grey cocktail dress with vivid red poppies and strutting cockerels.
Ione Rucquoi designs and makes unusual and unique fabrics, which are entirely client specific. The printing process allows the client to choose an image special to themselves, much in the same way as commissioning a painting. Finished pieces can become garments, accessories or furnishings and can be worn, displayed or exhibited as artworks.
