Past Fashion Future

Posted on Tuesday February 7th 2012 at 10:00am. Its tags are listed below.

Designers Andria Crescioni, known for designing Loomstate’s zero-waste anarok, and Courtney Cedarholm debuted their collaboration with Peruvian non-profit Awamaki on January 27, at the Textile Arts Center in New York City. As I anticipated, the design team has revealed a surprisingly fashion forward daywear collection that successfully pairs traditional Peruvian textiles with modern, wearable styles, proving that Awamaki Lab is moving beyond its infancy. Notable pieces include the Qusa Tee, a wardrobe staple with a handwoven fabric pocket detailing, the cropped Cacao Jacket that boasts contrasting patchwork textiles without overwhelming, and the fashion forward Patacancha Anorak, which has a Peruvian spin to a classic Barbour coat style. I interview the designers over on Discovery’s TreeHugger.com, here.
