«Ale Gougy Cosecha Vintage, "Sustainable Haute Couture"
ECO FASHION
I personally met Ale at the Backsatage of an event to which we were both invited, and his work made a pleasant and extraordinary impression on me, with garments worthy of a haute couture catwalk in Paris or Milan or any place on the planet that presents high fashion.
It is truly a luxury to see the staging so beautiful, delicate and to understand that it is made with organic and recyclable materials leaves you in shock.
Alejandra Gougy, a plastic artist specialized in upcycling and responsible for her clothing brand Cosecha Vintage, works on the basis of sustainability, ecological fashion and fair trade. Within these guidelines, she uses industrial waste, recycled textiles, organic cotton, or scraps; in particular, nylon stockings.
For Ale, who is the Leader of the sustainable design collective in Argentina, the challenge is to transform the fashion industry and create from waste and in a personalized way without patterns and without bringing fashion to saturation, each design is unique. according to the characteristics and quantities of material available.
The message is clear, use a world of garbage so that the user, the generator of this, is the one who falls in love with the garment and buys it, thus generating an endless chain of infinite avant-garde with eternal garments that will always be the center of attraction when they leave a store. closet to a date or social event.
Cosecha Vintage, with the message “Fashion takes care of you”, has always recycled women's nylon stockings to create its works of art, transforming them into delicate fabrics, and for more than 12 years has been promoting a solidarity campaign called “From the feet to the heart” inviting women not to throw their nylon stockings in the trash and donate them or to participate in workshops to teach them how to cut them and make blankets to donate.
Ale Gougy has traveled through many capitals of the world with her proposal, from Tokyo, Miami, Chicago, Barcelona, Medellin, Bucaramanga Colombia - and is also the host of talks, seminars and enriching workshops focused on awakening and teaching her techniques to groups of designers and social groups, because Ale knows very well that his gift to humanity is to transform it from the heart and that his legacy sows change in this consumerist society rooted in easy fashion and produced without compassion for Mother Nature.
"For Ale Gougy, the new luxury, the luxury that will reign in the following decades is that of sustainability." "My advice to new entrepreneurs is to look inward, within yourself and within the country. If we manage to have an identity, that is the way, that is the fashion."
SolsticeMag now wants to announce an upcoming invitation to Ale to an event in Florida in Miami for the delight and awareness of that beautiful capital of the Sun.
