Inside an intimate space, surrounded by chipped, butter-yellow tile walls, and divided by a woven curtain, two models pose in front of a small crowd, turning this way then that.
The garments they’re presenting beg for this kind of close inspection. Take, for example, the skirts. Lean in for a close look, and you’ll see the incredible technique behind the puckered fabric — the woven elements, the multi-colored knots, the stitching, the raw fringes. A pale-blue mini dress seems simple enough at first glance. But peek at the side details, and you’ll notice fabric unraveling into threads before coming together into a weave, like wispy strands of hair twisted into tight braids.
