The Cherub Study - Skirt

Skirt An archive preserved in movement. The Cherub Study Skirt is a wearable interpretation of historical textile archives, combining classical cherub imagery, ornamental motifs, and botanical dyeing techniques into a singular collectible garment. Created using the historic cyanotype process and naturally toned with madder root, the skirt carries layered archival narratives across its structured denim surface. The imagery develops uniquely through light exposure and natural dye absorption, resulting in a piece that cannot be replicated. Designed with a structured silhouette and clean architectural lines, the skirt functions both as a standalone artwork and as part of the complete Cherub Study ensemble. Every piece bears the marks of its making. Every piece tells a different story. The Process Each skirt is individually created through: • Hand preparation of the denim surface • Application of archival cyanotype imagery • UV exposure printing • Natural madder root dyeing • Slow washing and finishing techniques • Individual hand inspection Details Limited edition High-waisted silhouette Structured denim construction Cyanotype archival artwork Naturally dyed with madder root Antique brass hardware Handmade in India Material 100% Cotton Denim Cyanotype Print Process Natural Madder Root Dye Care Hand wash separately in cold water Use mild detergent Dry in shade Iron inside out Natural fading and evolution are part of the artwork Edition Note Every Cherub Study Skirt exists as a singular archival impression, shaped by light, time, and natural materials.
