Carla Fernández
Founder of the eponymous brand, Carla Fernández with her partner Christina Rangel works at the forefront of ethical fashion, documenting and preserving the rich textile heritage of Mexico's indigenous communities. Her creations are made in collaboration with over 180 weavers, embroiderers, and carvers from across fifteen states of Mexico who use traditional techniques and processes to create contemporary fashion.
The exhibition, which was presented in Denver and Mexico City and is curated by Florence Müller with a design by Pedro Reyes, has here been expanded to include specially designed pieces. Fruitful collaborations between the designer, her partner craftsmen in Mexico, and four residents Maisons of le19M—Goossens, Massaro, Maison Michel, and ERES—bring together traditional and contemporary savoir-faire and techniques and the experience of an object with creative abstraction.
