#fashion#stella jean#fall 2021#ready-to-wear#scopophobia /#favorite#so every year stella jean collaborates with a small artistic community to support their work and gain visibility for them#this year it was kyrgyz women from barskoon#'The area is known for inlaid felt carpets and wall hangings traditionally handcrafted by women'#i'm just going to copy-paste a lot because it's really important#'Jean chose simple shapes that can be easily replicated; artisans in Italy cut the patterns and sent them to Kyrgyzstan#where they were embroidered by the Topchu women. Once embroidered the pieces were sent back to Italy to be assembled'#she said: 'From next season the collective can work on the patterns as they wish creating new items that can be sold and bear profit#The patterns are not mine; I don’t own them. And the beautiful felted decorations have only been loaned to us—they’re theirs.#The Kyrgyz women can source textiles locally producing independently from outside partnerships. We’re not their saviors#We just have to accompany them and then let them go find their own path. I think this a healthy participatory way to look at globalization#end quote#so coooooool
