I had a lovely evening last week at the Ethical Fashion Forum meetup in NYC. Hosted by the one-and-only Bahar Shahpar, I had some great discussions (some of which I’ll be following up on in a future post). I also had the chance to chat with Auralis Herrero-Lugo, whose Summer collection (the eponymous Auralis) is gorgeous, ubersexy, and fabulously contrasty in black and white materials.

Speaking of which, “Auralis studied the texture and techniques of puertorican painter Angel Otero’s work. His bobbin lace (mundillo-like) textures led Auralis to incorporate hemp gauze, organic cotton dobby and jersey in to her collection.”

Auralis hopes to get into denim and would ideally like to work with farmers to “help promote organic agriculture in Puerto Rico.” I can’t wait to see what this designer who is so attuned to cut and draping can do with denim!
