"If you don't know him yet, get on board; he's literally the only Peruvian designer to ever pull this off, and he's rewriting what sustainability and craftsmanship look like on a catwalk. The inspo? Not your usual Pinterest moodboard. Rivas trekked 19 hours into the Andes to stare at 19th-century baroque murals in a tiny church near Cuzco, then staged his show at exactly 19:19 because, yes, there was an astrologer involved. We love a designer who plans his runways by the stars."
"The clothes? Think power priestess who raided the sacristy and then hit Fabric at 3 a.m. Tailored silhouettes with a touch of the divine, upcycled denim that feels more runway than recycling bin, men's trousers reincarnated as dresses, and zippers so extra they could headline their own accessories line. Resin, laser-cut acrylic, 3D-printed flourishes, it's basically sacred iconography meets futuristic rave girl."
Peruvian designer Genaro Rivas presented A Golden Shroud at London Fashion Week, his fifth consecutive runway in the city. He traveled 19 hours into the Andes to study 19th-century baroque murals in a tiny church near Cuzco and timed the show for 19:19 with an astrologer. The collection melded sacristy-inspired power-priestess tailoring with late-night club energy, using upcycled denim, men's trousers repurposed as dresses, dramatic zippers, resin, laser-cut acrylic and 3D-printed details. The golden shroud motif evoked phoenix-like transformation, resilience and reinvention. Ninety-five percent of the collection was produced by women collaborators, embedding empowerment into the garments. The muse combined worldliness, groundedness and ethereal presence.
