Item Description
A.WAKE Clothing Line by Kathleen Crocetti T-Shirt, Size Medium.
History and Philosophy of A.Wake Clothing: Ms. Crocetti spent a month at an Artist in Residency in Morocco this past summer. She was in Sefrou, a town just outside of Fez. The town is on an ancient trading route and has on old Medina. The residency program is called Culture Vultures. They are focused on bringing western artists into collaborations with traditional artisans. Most of the ones in the town where the residency is located are doing some part of the old textile trade, from wool gathers to spinners weavers, tailors, button makers to embroiders. There is not much call for these artisans in Morocco anymore for many reasons. One of the main reasons is the flood of western style clothing and fabric. Culture Vultures is trying to get Western artists interested in dying art forms, that we might somehow be able to save them.
Ms Crocetti brought home over 400 yards of hand woven woolen fabric that she styled into comfortable durable clothing that can be part of a wardrobe for years and potentially passed on. She wants to support a traditional craft while at the same time addressing one of the issues that is causing the demise of that tradition.
