GV x Alexander Girard
$320
Originally released during our AW23 collaboration with Alexander Girard, Arabesque (1954) embodies Girard’s exploration into fabric weaving and color. The design was originally developed by Girard during his tenure as the Head of Fabric and Textile Division at Herman Miller and has been used in countless applications from upholstery to wallpaper.
To continue Girard’s emphasis of quality craftsmanship, we had Arabesque meticulously reengineered at our Italian partner mill on a midweight 100% cotton brocade. Each color was matched to its original Pantone and the weave structure was kept consistent with Girard’s original textile blueprint.

Working closely with the estate of Alexander Girard, we aimed to create a fabric that replicates Girard’s designs with as much accuracy as possible. After much trial and error, we turned to our partner mill in Como, Italy for help. Run by the same family for generations, their fabric engineers created an 100% cotton poplin and jacquard fabrics that can render prints and brocades with crisp detail and rich colors.

GV x Alexander Girard
A Legacy of American Design
For more than half a decade, we've collaborated with the estate of Alexander Girard to create an ongoing capsule celebrating his most significant textile designs.
Using Girard's original design blueprints from his time as the head of textiles at Hermann Miller, we've recreated each print and textile with comprehensive accuracy. Never before has his work been recreated for clothing, and we're honored to participate in Girard's legacy.
