about
JOANNA STANISZKIS
Joanna Staniszkis is a textile artist and creator of unique collections of wearable art.
"I travel the world in pursuit of finest materials -rare fabrics, unusual and alive.
In my atelier which is nestled in an ancient roman quarry, in the Luberon, in Provence, these are transformed and given a new life through a thoughtful and intimate process of hand dying, printing or pleating. The results of these processes are sometimes unexpected, experimental. Uneven colouring or a faded print is not seen as a fault but rather a welcomed variation, a proof of the fact that it is the human hand not a machine that has enhanced this cloth."
Each garment is carefully shaped and individually inspired and it transforms those who wear it .
The philosophy behind “Only in Provence” brand is to create one of a kind art wear, which is simple but elegant, versatile and timeless and can be worn over and over again for years.
