Maqu Peruvian Minimalism
Made Fair in Germany & Perú
Libauer Str. 4, 10245

www.bymaqu.com Maqu designs practical, classic clothing with a timeless aesthetic.

Our garments are made in Germany & Peru, using sustainable manufacturing methods. As a child in the 1980s, Marisa Fuentes Prado grew up seeing her grandmother’s clothing production in Lima, Peru. Later, she began co-operating with various artists and was passionate about photography and painting. Around the same time, she developed an ever-increasing desire to design clothes herself. Marisa went on to study fashion design, gained work experience in the fashion industry and became part of the team of the designer Henrik Vibskov in Copenhagen in 2013. Since Maqu was the nickname already given to her by her family and friends, presenting her designs under the same name seemed like the obvious choice. After being involved in productions for the fashion weeks in Copenhagen and Paris, Marisa moved on to Berlin. In Berlin, she would blend and combine design influences from various parts of the world in a open and dynamic setting to create a lasting design. Since 2015, Maqu has designed her first collection in Berlin. In 2016, Maqu Green Project was founded. For this project, art, design and practicability are combined with social and ecological and sustainability. We exclusively work with producers and tailors that we know personally. We pay great attention to the fact that our quality standards are met, and that working conditions and a fair compensation for an adequate living standard. For this, we have taken into consideration the relationship between wages, working hours, time pressure and personal satisfaction.

Peruvian minimalism emerges from an essential relationship with material and territory. Rather than simply referring to a reduction of forms, it can be understood as a way of concentrating cultural meaning into essential elements. Through simplicity, texture, repetition, and material presence, the work allows the materials themselves to become carriers of history and identity.
In my installation, cacao biomaterial and cacao husks create a dialogue between the organic and the crafted, between tradition and transformation. The interwoven structure recalls manual practices and forms of making rooted in Peruvian culture, while cacao husks connect the work to the land, agriculture, and a long history of cultivation, exchange, and consumption.
The installation explores minimalism as a form of synthesis: instead of representing Peru through recognizable or explicit symbols, it seeks to condense ideas of territory, tradition, materiality, and memory into a limited number of elements.
