& collect
Helene Börner headed the weaving workshop as Master of Craft from 1919 to 1925. The overall responsibility lay with Johannes Itten (1920/1921) and Georg Muche (1921/1927), before the Bauhaus graduates Gunta Stölzl (1925/1931), Anni Albers (1931), and Otti Berger (1931/1932) took over the responsibility for education and production in the workshop. From 1932, the architect Lilly Reich ran the furnishing as well as the textiles workshop.

´Fashion´ was not a topic at the Bauhaus. The few preserved garments from the textile workshop, also described in writing, indicate personal use and individual pieces of craftsmanship. At the Bauhaus in Dessau, various fabric types were developed: curtain fabrics, transparent drapes, wall covering and furniture fabrics.
