FA's sustainable art is nothing more than the mixture of a textile technique and the intention to raise social and environmental awareness in a different way through fashion.
In the textile industry there are a variety of techniques for manufacturing fabrics, FA took Patchwork as the basis of its sustainable art. The brand reuses disused denim garments, rethinking its design process from scratch to extend its useful life, a process known as Upcycling. It has also integrated the circular economy in favor of this more conscious evolution of fashion by using certified materials and processes that involve practices that go in the direction of sustainability such as the search for collaborators and local suppliers of materials to complement the pieces such as scraps of wood to create buttons and the recovery of textile material that is not for sale due to aesthetic defects through the printing technique, from whose leftover paper the brand's packaging is created. In addition, FA continues to focus on creative integration with artists from different fields to create pieces with a concept and high aesthetic value.
PATCHWORK COLLECTION
The tiles of a swimming pool and the sculpture of The Whale of Bruges, made with 5 tons of plastic by STUDIOKCA, inspired Franci Arias, Creative Director of the brand, to create what we currently know as the FA Patchwork; the clothing line that contributes to the environment through integration with the general public to create sustainability, activating a campaign that encourages donating jeans to continue making textile design and that shares the objective of supporting INVEDIN, allocating part of the profits generated from the sale of these new pieces to this non-profit Venezuelan foundation that improves the quality of life of children and adolescents who present
alterations in its development.
Franci Arias interprets sustainability in a romantic and avant-garde way. Find a vision of the future in textile design by creating an offer so that new generations can increasingly value these garments that carry a past and with which basic pieces of a wardrobe with the FA seal of authenticity will be created, a experimental and optimistic brand, which innovates from the essence and celebrates life.
For the collection of jeans, the FA workshop in Colinas de Bello Monte, Caracas, has been established as a point, where they will be receiving those people who wish to contribute to this campaign and who, for their donation, will receive a 10% discount on purchases. who wish to make ready-to-wear Patchwork pieces.
