“Carla Fernandez: The Future Is Handmade” opens Tuesday at Gallery 19M.
on her 2024 cruise collection, Mexico City fashion designer Carla Fernández was highlighting the couture-like techniques of her homeland through her ethical label.
“Everything is made in the communities and shipped to Mexico City, and sometimes it goes from one state to another, with cross pollination; so the fabric can be made in the state of Mexico and painted in Michoacán, or the pompons come from Chiapas, then we finish the product here. Or sometimes the product comes finished already,” she says of her range of sculptural jumpsuits, wrap coats and dresses using Mayan and Aztec symbols, Mexican milagros and other details in contemporary ways.
“The house mixes craft with research and activism. It presents a critical and committed perspective on the ethics and aesthetics of the forms that dress us. In fact, wrote a whole manifesto on fashion as an act of resistance against uniformity and mass production,” Hutin says, adding that the manifesto is used as a backdrop in the exhibition.
Charros hats are reinterpreted by hatmaker Maison Michel, with spectacular oversize proportions, and glasses are designed with goldsmith Goossens.
