WINTER 2023 ︎
TERRAZZO
Inspired by the mixture of colors and textures from our land and material. The Terrazzo Color Block Jacket is made from fabric leftovers and serger shreds used as insulation to create a puffer jacket while the sweaters are made from dead-stock double knit cotton-wool blend fabric and natural linens for the shirt and pants.
Proceeds of this collection will be donated to Un Mar de Colores.
“Un Mar de Colores means “an ocean of colors”
We cultivate and inspire inclusivity, diversity, and ocean stewardship through surf therapy, environmental education, and mentorship for children of color and underserved youth. We envision a broader and more welcoming surfing community. We’re making it happen with programs that bridge socio-economic gaps, increase coastal access, and encourage personal exploration and expression. The results benefit us all. Our students grow their individual confidence, connection to community, and a lifelong passion for ocean stewardship.” - Un Mar de Colores

ABOUT
ISA GUADALUPE
DESIGN — STUDIO
My name is Isa Guadalupe Medina and I am a designer and artist based in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. My work focuses on the intricacy and detail that is reflected from nature and my roots. The different motifs I create are inspired by feelings that emerge from the rare beauty and constant change of nature. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons The New School for Design, New York. Since then I have been focusing on creating hand-beaded and woven pieces that explore movement and transcendence of time in relation to the human body/experience.
Artist Statement
Through the years of creating and appreciating art, I realized that what I liked most about it was the process and time it took to create something. When I see a piece of art I wonder about the time, work and thought behind it. It is not just about making something beautiful or interesting but how it makes me feel and how much of my heart goes into it. I learned that loss is something that we all have to deal with at one point in our lives and we have to accept the inevitable. I began to explore with the unpredictable; dissolving materials, garments coming apart, transforming, playing around with the thought that nothing lasts forever, everything is transient. Change and transformation is what I want to explore more through my designs. The excitement and, yet, sadness of watching your creation come apart is what life is all about, constant change.
This is only the beginning of my exploration, the unpredictability of change.
