Ever wondered what happened to all the leftover designer fabric from those couture creations on the runway? Eva Zingoni, the Paris-based designer behind her eponymous label, sources excess fabrics directly from haute couture fashion houses and ultimately repurposes and recycles these special textiles into her contemporary designs. For example, unused taffeta, leather, and silk serve as both raw materials as well as the core inspiration behind her creations. However, due to limited quantities, she works within the perimeters of availability, which often results in one-of-a-kind pieces made from exceptional fabrics. Her designs include classic shapes such has tailored jackets and pants, flared dresses, tunics, and loose-fit blazers that make for wardrobe staples that all have a unique story behind them.
