An archival image of the women from Asturias harvesting seaweed by the coast. Raxada's collection references many of the textile methodologies created by them.
This project collaborates with female artisans who operate a small local studio on the mountains of Northern Spain. Some of them are even in their 80s and have been making garments since they were young.
Another intention of the project is to explore how to blend different sustainable fabrics such as silk with linen, recycled bamboo, recycled nylon and upcycled antique curtains.
The women, specifically that of Rederas, invented a special technique of knitting fish nets. Many of Raxada's garments are hand-knitted and reference this technique.
Mythological tales share a glimpse of Asturia’s ethos and the wisdom of our ancestors. They draw inspirations from how our ancient legends dress, as a way to connect with their spirits.
