WAKUN

Category: Apparel

''Wakun'' represents a profound cultural impact, as it contributes to the preservation and dissemination of an Andean tradition rich in symbolism. By transforming the patterns, colors and symbols of the dance into contemporary design garments, the collection invites the public to value and learn more about the cultural identity of Junín - Perú. Not only aesthetic elements are rescued, but the spiritual and communitarian meaning of the Huaconada dance is transmitted, projecting these values to a global context. This effort fosters an intercultural appreciation, allowing ancestral elements to coexist in current fashion and remain alive in the collective memory of new generations. Through the use of eco-friendly materials such as fish leather, sheep wool, and recycled alpaca textile waste, each garment becomes a tribute to Junin's Andean identity and responsible design practices. The integration of traditional techniques in modern silhouettes of wide volumes and overlapping textures creates an aesthetic that conveys the cultural depth and history behind each piece, rescuing the ancestral meaning and connecting it with a modern audience. Collaboration with local artisans is also highlighted, seeking to revalue tradition and manual labor, while the focus on exclusivity and respect for the environment redefines the concept of luxury in fashion.
