Collection 05. Freedom

Dance as Art and Sustainability in Fashion

The inspiration behind this collection comes from the elegance and strength of dance, particularly ballet and contemporary dance. Since I was a child, I dreamed of studying ballet, but I only had the opportunity to practice Spanish dance for a few years. However, years later, while attending Pilates classes, I found a spark that rekindled my passion. It was thanks to Libertad Pozo, a nationally and internationally renowned dancer and choreographer. Her light, elegant, and fluid movement, accompanied by the strength of her body, reminded me how much I admired the art of dance.

The delicacy perceived in a dancer’s movements conceals strict discipline and muscles strengthened by years of practice. This combination of grace and strength inspired me to create garments that reflect that duality: light, elegant, and at the same time durable.

In this collection, created from repurposed clothing from other collections, I not only seek to capture the essence of the movement but also to promote sustainable fashion. Some garments have been made with fabric scraps from other designers, embracing sustainability in fashion. By reusing materials, we avoid waste and give a second life to unique fabrics, transforming them into exclusive pieces full of meaning.

These garments are designed to “dance” in freedom and, at the same time, become small works of art within the world of dance. The connection between the art of dance and sustainable fashion is a reminder that beauty can go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.

I hope this collection inspires you as much as it does me. Each piece has been created with love and dedication, following a conscious and sustainable fashion approach. Because every step counts in building a more planet-friendly future.

Ballet and Dance: A Timeless Source of Inspiration

Ballet and contemporary dance are not only artistic expressions, but also ways of conveying emotions and telling stories through movement. These disciplines require precision, discipline, and creativity, qualities also reflected in sustainable fashion. Designing ballet-inspired garments means capturing its delicacy, fluidity, and strength—elements that seek to connect with the wearer on a deeper level.

Sustainable Fashion Inspired by the Art of Movement

Dance and fashion share a unique quality: both seek to represent beauty in movement. In this collection, sustainability in fashion merges with the essence of dance to create garments that are not only elegant but also environmentally friendly. By utilizing designer fabric scraps, the garments take on a new purpose, transforming what could otherwise be discarded into something valuable and alive.

The Importance of Reusing Materials in Fashion

The use of fabric scraps in this collection is not just an aesthetic choice, but a commitment to sustainability. The fashion industry generates tons of textile waste each year, and reusing materials is an effective way to reduce the environmental impact. By transforming these scraps into unique pieces, we are demonstrating that sustainable fashion can be both innovative and functional.

Fabrics Used in a Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

In this collection, each garment tells a story of sustainability and reuse. We worked with materials we already had available, promoting sustainable fashion and reducing textile waste. For the photographs, we used 3D printing and neoprene fabrics stored in our workshop. These leftover materials, from a previous collection, found new life in this collection.

Additionally, a designer friend gave us some fabrics she was no longer using, and we were able to transform them into unique and functional pieces. This commitment to reusing materials demonstrates how we can make the most of available resources without compromising quality or aesthetics.

Natural Fabrics for Garments on Request

For the garments available upon request, we have selected linen and other natural fabrics. These materials are not only more sustainable but also offer exceptional quality and a pleasant feel. By choosing natural fibers, we are opting for biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, an essential part of our sustainable fashion philosophy.

Japanese Pattern Making: Inspiration and Elegance

The design of some garments in this collection incorporates Japanese pattern making, a technique that celebrates simplicity and functionality. These garments are notable for their loose fit, with rectangular and rounded shapes that evoke the soft, fluid movements of a dancer. This minimalist style not only enhances the aesthetic but also promotes a more ethical approach to design, avoiding unnecessary material waste.

Responsible Fashion and Creativity

Each piece in this collection reflects our mission: to combine creativity with responsibility. By using surplus, natural fabrics and techniques like Japanese pattern making, we seek to offer pieces that are not only beautiful and functional, but also represent a true commitment to sustainability in fashion.

Collaboration with Libertad Pozo: Fashion and Art in Motion

At CRUCA, one of the greatest thrills of this collection was collaborating with Libertad Pozo, a renowned dancer and choreographer. Watching the garments come to life through her movements was an unforgettable experience. Each piece is designed to allow her to dance, move freely, and feel connected to sustainable fashion.

That an artist of her caliber has decided to support us is an honor that fills us with pride and gratitude. This collection is a tribute to Libertad and her ability to transform any setting into pure art.

A special thanks also to our photographer and makeup artist, whose talent and dedication were instrumental in capturing the essence of this collection.
