Oksa Fabric
Oksa is a natural silk fabric known for it’s raw and translucent properties. Also known as the Korean Silk Dupioni Organza, it is made by reeling off raw silk from two or more silkworms in a cocoon. When two worms spin their cocoons close together, the fibers get tangled up. These naturally tangled fibers are then used together to make thread. The thread contains bumps and irregularities where the fibers from the two cocoons are combined which gives it a beautiful structure and depth to the fabric. It is a rarely produced fabric most commonly used in traditional hanboks.
Oksa is used in YOONIST's designs as an homage to Korean craftsmanship as well as the designer's continued exploration of the meaning of home and sense of belonging whilst creating clothing that hold sentimental value.
