herringbone limelight


 
Alternative Views:


This cream-and-off-white fabric is so luminous and eye-catching that to wear it is to be the center of attention! Originally, “limelight” was a type of stage lighting used during the early 20th century. It was created by heating a piece of lime to incandescence, producing a bright white light. Actors or performers who stood in the path of the limelight would be illuminated brightly, drawing the audience's focus to them. Therefore, being "in the limelight" referred to being in a prominent position on stage, where all eyes were on the performer. Over time, the phrase evolved beyond its theatrical origins to describe anyone or anything that is the focus of widespread attention.

The herringbones measure just 3 millimeters or 1/8”, so they are subtle. Woven as a high-quality jacquard - each herringbone is inlaid right into the fabric!

Width & weight: 54” and 100 grams.
