Sita Abellan does it all; the Spanish talent is the Instagram age incarnate, tripling as a model, DJ, and designer. And just as cool is the Parisian non-genderconforming brand Faith Connexion, so when the two teamed up to create a capsule collection, underground fashion fiends were pining for a myriad of striking designs they could conceive.
Faith Connexion x Sita Abellan debuted at a captivating event hosted by Made at the Moxy in Times Square on Thursday, Oct. 12. At the showcase, immensely detailed, pop art-like pieces made by Abellan in tandem with Faith Connexion's in-house ateliers throughout the entire collaborative creative process were unveiled ahead of the collections spring 2018 in-store release.
Featuring statement jackets, cropped and cut garments, and dresses made into streetwear, each piece looks like a closet essential of It-girls passed, be they of Madonna caliber or scene queens, to bring Abellan's vision of a "techno-princess" to life. Though the nine-piece capsule collection features shock-factor looks, it truly engages with its DIY appeal including hand-made items like a leather jacket embellished in 2,500 studs and tulle skirts gathered in meters of fabric.
