AWAMAKI LAB’S F/W 2012 COLLECTION WAS CREATED BY
ANDRIA CRESCIONI AND COURTNEY CEDARHOLM IN
COLLABORATION WITH AWAMAKI’S WOMENS’ COOPERATIVE
PROGRAM IN OLLANTAYTAMBO, PERU. THEY FOUND INSPIRATION
IN VINTAGE EXPEDITION WEAR AFTER DISCOVERING IMAGES OF
HIRAM BINGHAM EXPLORING MACHU PICCHU IN THE EARLY
1900’S.
AAWAMAKI LAB IS A PERUVIAN NGO THAT BRINGS YOUNG
DESIGNERS TO RURAL PERU TO WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH
MEMBERS OF AWAMAKI’S ARTISAN COOPERATIVES.
DESIGNERS CREATE GARMENTS THAT ARE ABLE TO BRIDGE
THE GAP TO AN INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER MARKET,
ENABLING WOMEN WEAVERS, SEAMSTRESSES, AND KNITTERS
IN THE SACRED VALLEY TO DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE INCOME
FOFOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES.
