We Are Spirits in the Material World
We Are Spirits in the Material World focuses on local NYC women designers
working within strict Vegan/Green/Eco guidelines to make imaginative,
earth-conscious clothing as a counterpoint to consumerism and rapid
development.
Set in a polluted area of north Brooklyn, these images
juxtapose the purity of Eco-clothing with the industrialization of the
neighborhood. Reflections in cars and windows tell two stories at once:
the clothing offers a solution to staving off climate change amidst the
chaos of forsaken Mobil stations, smoke stacks and abandoned cars.
Designers active in this project are: Ryann, Mociun, Nature Vs Future, Sublet Clothing.
Stylist: Tara Sharpe and Make-up: Talya Siegel.
