デザイナーは半年ごとに発表するコレクションの合間を縫い、まだ見ぬ最高品質の素材を求めて旅に出ます。
2020 FALL WINTER COLLECTIONで特に注目している素材の一つ、「アルパカ」の生産背景に触れるため、アマゾンの熱帯雨林やマチュピチュで有名なペルーを訪れました。
In the middle of February 2020, AURALEE designer Ryota Iwai took a break from the usual seasonal collection preparation, to travel across the globe in a continuation of his search for the highest quality materials. His travels lead him to Peru, famous for its Amazon rainforest, Machu Picchu, and the Alpaca. Alpaca was one of the materials we focused on and featured in the Fall Winter 2020 collection, and the trip was an exploration to research and take a closer glimpse into the production of this unique material.
