(16 Feb 2015) EDUN FINDS INSPIRATION IN MOROCCO
EDUN found itself between two worlds with its collection for the Fall Winter 2015 season, which showed Sunday (15 FEB. 2015).
The brand founded by Bono and his wife Ali Hewson in 2005 aims to promote trade in Africa. EDUN took its inspiration from Morocco for the new season.
"We worked with some artisans there to create the brocade, the silk brocade that you saw on the last collection - last runner show and the idea was to merge these two worlds of Africa and Europe - take classic tailoring and merge it with essentially brocade weaving which goes back centuries, as well, and bringing those two worlds together," explained the brand's creative director Danielle Sherman.
"If you wanna get extremely metaphorical, there's a place in Morocco, actually, it's in the Strait of Gibraltar, where the two oceans meet. It's actually the Mediterranean/Atlantic. So, it's really where Europe and Africa come together," she added.
Sherman kept the tailoring pared down, using muted colors ranging from blacks, whites and reds. Sixties-style shift dresses were color blocked, while the pea coats were oversized and monochromatic. Chunky sweater tunics were paired with striped metallic skirts, while brocade black and white tapestry dresses closed the show.
