A Gordina pattern story
A dance carried off the page.
A dancing figure, translated from a painted design into embroidery. Three colours of heavyweight cotton, each giving the gesture a different presence.

01 / The meaning
A woman in a fringed skirt, roses in bloom. La Bailarina began with a painted chest design recorded in a 1938 portfolio of Spanish Colonial folk art from New Mexico. We carried the dancer’s gesture into thread. The figure now moves with the person wearing her.
