Pilar Dalbat presents her ‘Buxaira‘ collection in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid’s off schedule in which she commits to slow fashion concepts 100% Made in Spain with unique pieces created with fabrics from the last artisan loom in the province of Granada.
The crafts of the Alpujarra and La Taha materialize in fabrics made from textile waste through a traditional and historically circular process that Dalbat and her team bring to the new collection. Coats, over-shirts, waistcoats and capes are built with new patterns and fabrics are hand-embroidered with methacrylate, glass beads and fringes combining them with wool tops, neoprene sweatshirts and large scarves.
The recycled fabrics result in double-sided, canvas, crepe, washed satin, natural silk, vegan sheepskin and corduroy in a range of colours, from chocolate brown to eggshell, emerald green and pink shrimp. All this combined with intentional tributes to the traditional stripes of the Alpujarra fabrics together with digital prints that evoke the landscape of Granada, the fashion designer’s hometown.
