Fiber Talk with Jessica Jane Pile and Robert Ossant
The Art of Couture Embroidery by Jessica Jane Pile and Robert Ossant.Jellyfish design from a creation by Rahul Mishra, created using the Aari technique.This week we travel to the world of Haute Couture in a conversation with couture historian Robert Ossant and embroidery artist and interior designer Jessica Jane Pile. They have combined their vast knowledge, experience, and talents to write an upcoming book, “The Art of Couture,” available Nov. 2025. You can pre-order it now from the usual book sources. It’s a unique publication that provides an excellent history of several famous and upcoming design houses, combined with stitching instructions that will enable you to implement couture designs and techniques in your own needlework. In addition to the expected tambour work, there is a dress made with canvas and one with feathers. We learn a lot about high fashion and the book will make a fine addition to your needlework library.–Gary
