Lori Weitzner proudly presents the Couture Collection for Samuel & Sons, a sumptuous offering of decorative trimming inspired by contemporary couture. The story of the collection began with Lori’s visit to the Rhode Island School of Design Museum in Providence, Rhode Island, where Todd Oldham’s fashion exhibit captivated her with its bold color sense and over-the-top use of embroidery and beading. Back at the studio, inspiration grew to include the work of pioneering designers like Isabel Toledo, Issey Miyake, and Mary Katrantzou. The resulting collection reimagines specialized textile techniques like pleating, embroidery, and laser cutting with modern flair. Ombré, or a color shift from light to dark, is featured in many styles for dynamic appeal. This diverse collection includes six tapes, two cords, and seven coordinating brush fringes, tassel fringes and holdbacks.
