Friday marked the debut of the FW14 collection from HARARE, a new and very
exciting line from designer Caroline Fuss. Fuss is an Australian native who is
now based out of New York – she’s a total textile genius who honed already
admirable craft at Proenza Schouler. For HARARE, Fuss incorporates woven
textiles from artisans in Guatemala into sharp, beautifully cut, flattering,
unique and just really, really cool contemporary silhouettes. The line spreads
awareness of the amazing work these weavers are doing in Guatemala, and it also
offers us something fresh and globally conscious, not to mention incredible in
quality – some things that the current market is lacking. These richly woven,
boldly patterned pieces look so effortless and comfortable yet make such a
statement, I am dying to wear them, all of them. Keep an eye out for some
serious pattern clashes and, one of my favorites, a dropped-waist leather dress
with a hint of chiffon at the hem.
