One of the novelties of this new edition of the Camariñas Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, the 'ReEncáixame' catwalk, confirms two new additions to this show.
They are Cris García and Luz Prado, who will reinterpret the collections with which they participated in the New Designers competition, a condition without fail to join this new point of the extensive programming.
Cris García participated in the Mostra in 2017 with his 'Sereas' collection. Now, this 2024 he is reissuing his designs under the umbrella of 'Sereas II'. "I started a little from the idea of recycling my creations. Ribbons are back, for example, and the idea is to contextually adapt to what is being worn now."
The young designer, who was of legal age when she was in Camariñas, shows her "excitement to return, since I find myself at a time when I am also 're-establishing myself' professionally and I have wonderful memories of my time at the Mostra. I am looking forward to returning", she adds.
For her part, Luz Prado, who participated in the 2018 Noveis Deseñadores catwalk, will transform the 'Askalapta' collection, which is a collection made in faux fur, a sustainable material "that helps reduce the environmental impact and stops the slaughter of animals," according to the designer herself.
This new collection, which will be released under the name 'Despertar', will be the fusion of the collection presented in Camariñas and a previous reissue, 'Ardora', made in biodegradable cotton and silk.
“I always make the lace by hand, since it is a handcrafted product, with a lot of care and attention, which is also noticeable when it comes to using it again,” announces Luz.
'ReFit Me'
The purpose of the fashion show is to encourage designers to reinterpret an outdated collection by reusing both the fabrics and lace from Camariñas.
They must show how they reinterpret and transform garments into a new collection with a focus on reusing materials and reducing waste.
People who, whether or not they are fashion professionals, have participated in the Young Designers Competition of the Camariñas Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coruña in any of its 29 editions participate.
