Object ROBERTS WOOD, Wool Silk Ruffle Coat

Stocked internationally through Dover Street Market, ROBERTS WOOD is a design studio focusing on an innovative approach to textiles and construction. Its founder, Katie Roberts-Wood, has drawn widespread praise for her no-stitch way of linking pattern pieces to create three-dimensional garments.

‘I’m obsessed by the idea of making something original,’ she said. ‘I came to believe that the only way to do this would be to invent new ways of making.’ Her signature ‘stitchless ruffles’ adorn many of her most gorgeous garments, including this black wool silk ruffle coat. ‘The linked construction of the silk ruffles reminds me a lot of bones, specifically vertebrae,’ she once said of her trademark design feature. It’s the perfect Halloween cover-up.
