Carla Fernandez: how heritage translates into fashion
What Will Creativity Hold for the Future?/Recorded 2011
A close reading, kept within reach.
Carla Fernandez takes design thinking as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Mexico in 2011, the conversation is grounded in Carla's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
With her Taller Flora label, Mexican fashion designer Carla Fernandez incorporates elements of her country’s heritage into the garments she designs.
