Ambition built the tower. Pride brought it down.

INTRODUCING

The Babel Silk Shirt stands as a monument to creation and collapse, a piece where art and ruin entwine. Woven from 100% silk and printed in the UK, the fabric carries the haunting image of Wilhelm von Kaulbach’s Der Babelthurm (The Tower of Babel) - an engraving from 1869 that captured the moment humanity reached too far, and the heavens answered.

Each line of the artwork trembles with defiance - light breaking stone, men scattered in confusion, a blueprint clutched in shaking hands. That same energy lives through this garment: a story retold in silk.

Cut with a revere collar and turn-up cuff, the silhouette drapes with quiet confidence. 

Made here in the UK by Fashion-Enter, the pioneering, ethical makers redefining modern craftsmanship. Finished with corozo buttons and recycled labels.

ORIGINS

The print featured on the Babel Silk Shirt is drawn from Wilhelm von Kaulbach’s 1869 engraving Der Babelthurm (The Tower of Babel) — a dramatic portrayal of mankind’s ambition to build ever higher.

In the scene, light fractures the rising structure as the builders descend into confusion and chaos. At its centre sits the defiant figure of Nimrod, blueprint in hand — a symbol of human will and the cost of creation.

Engraved by Caspar Heinrich Merz, Kaulbach’s work blends the precision of classical art with the intensity of German Romanticism. Reimagined here in silk, it becomes a meditation on ambition — the beauty and danger of reaching beyond our limits.
