Solstice Exù : new collection by R E M U S E
These cosmic creations by Tamara Leacock of @remusedesigns are handmade in Collingwood, Melbourne ~ from low environmental impact materials.
Her latest collection, Solstice Exù, is created with undyed linen and organic cotton, juxtaposed with shibori dyed moss, indigo deadstock and organic fabrics.
The collection is inspired by life, death, and crossroads of existence, based on Tamara’s political, spiritual, and environmental experiences whilst living & studying in North-Eastern Brazil.
“Design wise I am inspired by Afro-futurism, diversity and cultural appreciation in design- namely the Japanese kimono and yukata- and my Afro-Brazilian and West Indian heritage.”
“Fusing artisan techniques, low-impact dye technology, and natural fibers, R E M U S E investigates the ways the future of a fashion is simply fashion that takes inspiration from the earth.”
