Deceptively simple or fantastically intricate, ikat technique has
been used for many centuries to create extravagant costumes and
cloths of deep cultural meaning. The distinctively blurred,
feathered or jagged patterns of ikat-dyed textiles are found across
much of the world - from Japan in the east to Central and South
America in the west, with vast areas of South-east Asia, India,
Central Asia and the Middle East in between. The traditional
patterns still hold cultural relevance today in significant parts
of the long-established ikat-weaving areas. Textile artists and
fashion designers in many and varied countries have taken ikat in
new directions, respecting traditional forms and palettes while
creatively diverging from them. This is the first time all the
different iterations of this textile have been comprehensively
brought together in one volume, drawing from the wide-ranging
collection of David Paly. It is a journey across the world through
the lens of ikat.Â
