REMEMBRANCE 1. The state of bearing in mind; the state of remembering 2. A memory of a person, thing, or event. 3. Something that serves to keep in or brings to mind:

In her designs, Mimi Prober incorporates delicate antique fabrics, which she first mends using traditional methods of embroidery, appliqué, lace making, beading, and dyeing. For this ensemble from her spring/summer 2018 collection, Prober reworked a crazy-pattern quilt into the shape of a motorcycle jacket—two objects known for bearing traces of their owners. Prober preserved the quilt’s date and its maker’s signature as evidence of its origins.
