Cyanotype Nettle
Created using slow fashion methodology, the name ‘CIRCADIAN’ reflects the cyclical nature of materials used throughout the collection: all fibres are plant-based, including pineapple fibre and esparto grass handpicked by Silvia in her home region, Andalucia, Spain. The dyes used to colour these fibres derive from natural sources such as cochineal insects, logwood, indigo and weld.
CIRCADIAN resulted in a capsule collection of
hand-woven and crocheted hats and accessories.
