About the Author
Susan Unger, a visionary textile artist who has lived and worked on Menorca for more than 50 years, brings together here collected pieces from her archive, forming an exquisite visual tapestry of textiles, clothing and the landscapes that inspired them.
Her art comes from observing nature. Over the years, she developed a slow, artisanal approach to fashion, deeply influenced by Wabi-Sabi philosophy, Mediterranean simplicity, and an intuitive approach to craft. Her clothing is designed to be worn, loved, repaired and worn some more. Both a retrospective and a personal narrative, the book weaves together the stories, inspirations, and meticulous techniques behind her creations. Let this visually rich quilt of art and couture awaken your soul.
