Carter Smith has been creating museum quality shibori fabrics for over 47 years. Shibori is an elaborate technique involving pleating and tying fabric then applying dyes in layers.
Carter's shibori pieces have been exhibited in galleries and museums in the US and many foreign countries, including Japan, Korea, and New Zealand.
His one-of-a-kind hand dyed silks incorporated into his original bias designs create unique and timeless garments that truly support and enhance the beauty in every woman who wears them from Elizabeth Taylor to Jane Fonda to Sara Jessica Parker.

“I prepare and dye each piece of silk, enough for one outfit at a time. Each garment is then hand crafted by one of the seamstresses in my studio. My desire is to wrap you in color and luxury.”
