Recker

Recker is interested in natural dyes because he finds them fascinating.

To explore traditional techniques and personal approaches to natural dyeing, Recker embarked on a journey and met with artisans from all over the world, from West Africa to Bangladesh to China to Northern California to Mexico to Uzbekistan.

Recker notes that these artisans tend to use such natural plants not only as colorants, but also as food and medicine.

Recker hopes raising awareness about natural colors will press the fashion industry worldwide to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
