Anemone is a small-scale artisan-experimental fashion project where everything is made to order or in very small productions in the form of unique pieces. The aim is to explore concepts of craft and femininity to subvert the stereotypes of feminine aesthetics and fashion trends – no gender garments – design for different bodies and experiment with new fabrics and techniques.
P/E1, the name of this first collection, is an interpretation of the concept of femininity in period clothing, exposing the clothes that were traditionally used as underwear; corsets, petticoats, crinolines, shirts, among others. Some of these pieces functioned as shapers, in turn repressing the natural silhouette of the body and forcibly imposing a new profile that was in keeping with the canons of the time.
The pieces in this collection are made from selected materials that respect sustainable work standards, generating less impact on the environment, like stock fabrics. Fibers of natural origin predominate, such as raw cotton, silk, organza, linen and wool. The color palette of this collection ranges from off-white to very soft yellows hand-dyed with eucalyptus.

The name of this project came from the “anemone flower” that was a flower loaded with symbolism in ancient Greece and where its name means “the daughter of the wind”. If we pay attention to mythology, Cefiro, the god of the wind who heralds spring, fell madly in love with a nymph, whom his jealous wife turned into a flower, Anemone, the flower of intense love.
