ABOUT US

Who is Zephyrson Threads?

Zephyrson Threads is a design and production studio in Melbourne specialising in custom fabric, textile art and embroidery.

Using a traditional embroidery technique called “Irish Embroidery” where a zig zag machine is controlled by hand and a “free-motion” stitch is created, the finished product is a high-quality, contemporary embroidery piece with a handmade touch.

All fabric used for each piece is second-hand, vintage or otherwise recycled. Zephyrson Threads prides itself on being a sustainable fashion producer and hopes to encourage upcycling of garments by giving them a whole new life through embroidery, dyeing and embellishment.

Zephyrson Threads can provide a full spectrum service from initial design and research, through to the creation of artwork and development of garments, all the way to final production.

Who is the name behind the label?

Born and raised in Sydney, but now residing in Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula, Kashel Porozny was trained in traditional fashion design, illustration and clothing production, but began working mostly with the traditional technique of freehand “Irish” embroidery when she realised the gap within the marketplace for handmade and one-of-a-kind embroidered fabrics and developed a love for creating works of textile art with this technique. Combining a love for modern fashion and streetwear with an appreciation for traditional and fine art principles, Kashel is constantly taking inspiration from the world around her to create beautiful and enduring pieces of wearable art.

Kashel Porozny and Zephyrson Threads would also like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their continued connection and contribution to land, water and community, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
