Fashion designer Sruli Recht used translucent cow skin leather to create the Apparition collection for Dutch company ECCO.

The collection is the result of a three-year project, during which Recht and a team from ECCO’s Netherlands leather lab aimed to create the world’s first transparent cow-hide leather.

Although translucent leather had previously been achieved with smaller hides, such as goat and sheep, it had been hard like parchment. Recht wanted to create a supple version that could be manipulated to create garments.

"It came out of the challenge of rethinking leather aesthetics in terms of both visual and touch properties," said Recht.

"We asked ourselves what would be the holy grail of leather? I would say it would be creating a futuristic material that still maintains the properties that we know, love, and require from leather."
