Amina K & Moderna Re-Imagine Upholstery in Kanaba Kapsule Collection
These aren’t the couches you think they are; no grandmothers were harmed in the making of this collection.
In the world of contemporary fashion, few things are as inspiring as the creative use of unconventional materials. Such is the case with ‘The Kanaba Kapsule,’ a creative collection of jackets, vests, and bags that are attempting to re-imagine the endless possibilities upcycling can offer. Created through a collaboration between Amina Khalil, the founder of her eponymous brand Amina K, and a marketing director at Moderna, this collection is a true testament to the power of creative collaboration.
“I was thrilled when Moderna approached me because I’ve always loved the idea of experimenting with different materials and repurposing them,” Amina Khalil, founder of Amina K, tells SceneStyled. “Working with waste fabric that comes in different textures and weight sets you up for creativity and unexpected outcomes. This collaboration means a lot to me because it allowed me to do what I love most, which is play around with fabric outside the confines of traditional design.
‘The Kanaba Kapsule’ features a range of unique pieces, each carefully crafted from Moderna's upholstery waste fabric. The collection's aesthetic is loose-fitting and transcendental in essence, evoking a sense of comfort and ease that is as luxurious as it is effortlessly chic. The fabrics used are soft and inviting, adorned with a variety of unique patterns that reflect the spirit of the collection.
In a time when sustainability is of paramount importance, ‘The Kanaba Kapsule’ is a prime example of the possibilities that can be achieved through repurposing waste materials. With its unique style and innovative use of materials, ‘The Kanaba Kapsule’ is poised to become a must-have item amongst sustainable fashion enthusiasts.
