On Wednesday, Council of Fashion Designers of America finalist Jackson Wiederhoeft debuted the Wiederhoeft Spring Summer 2025 “MANIFESTO” collection at New York Fashion Week. The brand partnered with Napa and Alexander Valley winery Silver Oak Cellars to create a bespoke dress crafted with 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon-dyed silk satin, according to The Drinks Business.
For the wine-dyeing process, the dress was soaked in the 2020 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from sunrise to sunset and then again for an additional afternoon. The runway look featured a salon corset with fully metal-boned construction and a lace-up back, as well as a mid-calf wasp skirt. Both garments were also hand-embroidered with beads, raffia, and pebbles.
