Ikat (e-kot) is the method of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft fibers. The dye is applied prior to the threads being woven to create the final fabric pattern or design. Ikat is a near universal weaving style common to many world cultures and is one of the oldest forms of textile decoration.
On September 1st, Focus Features releases one of the most anticipated films of George Clooney's career. Okay, I realize that this was way too dramatic of an opening line, but we are really looking forward to it's opening.
Geroge has teamed up with Anton Corbijn for The American.
