New York artist Sarah Zapata combines traditional methods of handweaving and latch-hooking with industrial carpet-manufacturing techniques to create her Technicolor sculptures and installations. From her “Ruin” series and part of the collection of the Museo de Arte de Lima, Standing on the Edge of Time (2019) uses color division to lure the viewer in.
With an emphasis on innovative construction and sustainable materials, Gabriela Hearst conceives striking ensembles like this dramatic fringe coat made of mulberry silk, leather, and cashmere, which she paired with recycled cotton-linen denim, wide-leg pants for the spring/summer 2025 runway.
