CANTON GAUZE

From its debut in the "Natural Way" collection, canton gauze has since become a seasonal fixture in the ICICLE wardrobe. This Chinese, natural and environmentally sustainable fabric, artisanally crafted using techniques transmitted down generations, is celebrated for its intricate manufacturing method, a magic recipe which relies entirely on the harmony of nature, weather, and human effort.

Silk is imbued with sap from the dioscorea plant, immersed in a specific regional mud, and undergoes a complex process. The result is a fabric with a unique two-tone finish: auburn-hued on one side and with an ebony lustre on the other—a hallmark of its exceptional value.

Incorporating it into contemporary designs, ICICLE has given canton gauze a new brio, transforming this traditional fabric into a material that feels modern and wearable for the everyday.

Focusing on canton gauze's inherent qualities of dryness, breathability, and crispness, ICICLE has introduced it into a range of wardrobe essentials: bespoke suits, tailored shirts, skirts, and dresses.

These practical yet ethereal garments highlight the fabric's nuanced textures and refined craftsmanship while infusing them with an unmistakable Oriental sensibility, perfectly suited to urban life. The poetry of each piece is enhanced as it ages organically, embodying the enduring wisdom of eco-conscious creation and demonstrating a unique elegance shaped by time.
