For her fall collection, Sonia Carrasco focused on the guts of her textile artistry. “We wanted to expose that inner part, to show where the piece started from, to reveal the process,” she explained. She opened with a crisp blazer, with a design that moved towards a more manipulated shape, altered through cut and stitching. The result was a series of pieces that looked unfinished, with visible seams and reversed knitting. For Carrasco, this was a way to put quality front and center. “You see the work behind it; the refinement and the detail; and that is also a way of taking care of our customers,” the designer added.
The 36 looks that made up her collection were made from deadstock and recycled fabrics. Carrasco melded tailoring and knitwear, often creating more suggestive pieces that revealed different parts of the body. “We wanted to give a raw sense to the pieces—a hanging lining here or a hasty cut there,” she said. “We wanted the clothes to speak for themselves and be appealing to a new generation who understand fashion and sexuality in a carefree way.”
