Guillermo Bravo Collection No. 3 | Architect Mom
2 min read | Fashion | A.M.
Guillermo Bravo is back in stride with their latest collection for Autumn/Winter 2021 entitled Architect Mom. The collection is the third from founder and creative director Luis Velez whom established Guillermo Bravo as a footwear brand in Seattle in 2018. The company has since evolved into separates and now capsule collections featuring Velez’ trademark commitment to marrying industrial design with customizable streetwear.
Luis describes his inspiration for Collection No. 3:
“ ‘Architect Mom’ is inspired by brutalist architecture and my mother. I’ve always admired architects and how they physically shape our world. Exploring how stark shapes influence silhouettes led to an interest in the transformation and creativity that occurs when someone else styles a piece of apparel or footwear.”
“The collection plays with varied textures to tell a story. Marbling tie-dye techniques create abstract forms on fabric. The futuristic look of the 3M reflective taffeta alludes to the starkness of brutalist architecture in a postmodern world. The forms balance technique, color, structure, softness, and letting things just happen.”
And it’s that spirit of spontaneity that can be seen in design choices that are both utilitartian and an artistic expression of a refined vision. From magnetic strips to air vents, raglan to nylon, one can clearly see the collection is ready to take on the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
