ABOUT THIS COLLECTION- words by the designer Acien
My collection unites the past and the present, weaving together the memories and identity passed down from my ancestors. Guided by my grandmother’s wisdom, I honour my heritage through traditional techniques she taught me and local resources such as Esparto dry branches and Arundo Donax canes; these materials carry the authenticity of my genesis. I am committed to a regenerative approach, preserving the earth’s resources and promoting biodiversity therefore my garments are made from organic Pineapple and Nettle yarns, hand- dyed with innovative natural dyes from bacteria and invasive plants. Water conservation is a key aspect of my collection, utilising materials and dyes that require minimal water usage compared to synthetic alternatives. I am not just creating garments, but a symbol of my connection to my ancestors, my community, and the earth. Through my collection, I aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
