Ilene Danchig
Ilene Danchig is a legend when it comes to collecting textiles. She began her career in the textile industry as a designer and weaver. Her passion for collecting textiles led her to amass more than 150,000 fabrics and prints from around the world, representing a vast ethnographic assortment from Mexico, Africa, Thailand, India, Russia, Europe, and Asia, spanning over 3 or more centuries. Ilene opened her own studio as inspiration to the fashion and home furnishing industries located in the hub of fashion district West 40th St., NYC.
