Amor & Rosas — a Mexico City-based ethical fashion brand — brought its Western Collection to Los Angeles for a two-day pop-up at The Row DTLA on April 25th and 26th. The presentation featured 35 hand-embroidered pieces that draw inspiration from the contrast between the northern Mexican desert's raw energy and the traditional textile language of Zinacantán, a Tzotzil Maya community in Chiapas.
Amor & Rosas' production approach rests on a co-authorship model where the artisan women who execute the embroidery using foot-pedal sewing machines are credited by name and paid a living wage. This ensures that each garment is traceable to its maker.
The Western Collection by Amor & Rosas boasts a color palette of terracotta, raw linen, black, red, lavender, and gold.
