Entry Description


Celebrating internal fire, project #LAVAEGO is Inspired by natural volcanos and oriental mythology. This project is about deep passions that rise to the surface in life-changing situations.
#LAVAEGO was conceived during lockdown, from stock fabrics. While studying volcanic eruptions, the aim of the designer was to mimic lava flows by creating unique 3D structures from textile fabric and using contrasting textures such as latex, silk, heavy wool or tulle. Pieces of fabric resulted from tailoring the main patterns, were sustainably reused to create accessories and structures.
