In America latina, durante i giorni 1 e 2 novembre si celebra il Día de los Muertos. In occasione di questa ricorrenza la tradizione vuole che ogniuno si costruisca il proprio ‘altare’ utilizzando cibo o bevande e faccia visita al defunto. Questo è quello che ha ispirato Camilla Forget, mentre progettava questo packaging per zucchero di canna dal nome Mama Quilla.

San Francisco’s Academy Of Art University fashion students have been graced with the unparalleled opportunity to showcase their pieces at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week since 2005, and this year, the recent graduates’ designs were no less impressive! This year’s collaboration between SF’s Britex Fabrics and fifteen students proved to be a great success, yielding a number of stylistically and colorfully cohesive looks that seemed to channel the current gray, gloomy weather and spit it out in the form of shimmering striped dresses, cloud-fluffy mohair coats, and dusky printed sweaters. While student design duo Emily Melville and Ivanka Georgieva are said to have stolen the show by closing it off with their series of fluid dresses and wool coats, many of the show’s other hobo-chic layered pieces reminded me of a high fashion rendition of Oliver Twist!

Colors:black, white, creamy tan, charcoal grays & blues
