DEBO SHIBORI

The ancient art form of SHIBORI is the oldest form of fabric ornamentation. It is  the art and
technique of simultaneously coloring and ornamenting through resist  dying.

A wide variety of styles and interpretations are seen in contemporary  Shibori works, and to
establish a recognizable signature, as is the tradition of  the art form, is to distinguish a mastery.
Melanie DeBo holds such distinction  having been a discipline of the Shibori for some 47 years.

First seen at Obiko in  San   Francisco 1975. The detail and complexity of her work, her particular
color sensitivities and her further interpretation of the Shibori in her Couture collections are
unique.
