Re visiting the inspiration behind our latest range. The artistry, colours, lifestyle and personal style of Georgia O’Keeffe (Georgia O'Keeffe Museum) were part of our design process.
A little note from us about who we are.
At Metta we don’t design brand new collections every season and instead focus on permanent styles in new colours and textures with a couple of new pieces added. We look backwards towards Victorian era clothing and workwear for styles that are not considered trends but something you will happily wear for years. Everything we do here is slow, from our design process, to the washing, dyeing, folding, tagging and packing.
This process also helps to keep as much plastic out of our production as possible and only make and release styles when we are ready. Using only cotton thread and our garments do not arrive from our makers in individual plastic bags (it is astounding how much plastic arrives to fashion businesses that the customer does not see)
We incorporate French seams where we can on most of our styles, shell buttons and only natural fibers for every garment - including our brand labels. Our prints are designed in house often using antique textiles for inspiration then it is hand screen printed.
Our swing tags are made locally with Hungry Workshop - Letterpress & Design (if you want amazing letterpressed business cards, swing tags, invites they are the place to go with)
The shoes from this shoot were hand made by Post Sole Studio. We also love working with Jessica Tremp for our photoshoots. And it was also so lovely modelling with Barb & Bade.
Here’s to championing older models too 💪Fashion Journal
