The Monarch Collection is a unique limited edition capsule collection of wearable pieces that is the brainchild of Lisa Jaffe- Guillotine and Gina Waldman- Waldman Studios.
Limited quantities of vibrant printed batik from Nigeria were the initial source of inspiration. No two printed panels in this soft damask weave are ever the same and they are imperfectly perfect because of the hand dyed quality of traditional artisans. This collection is the epitome of slow fashion- where each piece of printed fabric is considered and then designed to enhance the garment’s form and aesthetic. The collection is constructed by one master machinist and then embellished by a Ghanian tailor. The Adinkra embroidered symbols that adorn the scarves are deeply rooted in Ghanian traditional symbology and resonate individually with the wearer.
The MONARCH collection comprises of:
1. Matching Set - shirt and pants 2. Andikra Symbol Scarf 3. Jumpsuit
Too Note: Each combination is different and variants cannot be repeated. Fully reversible. One side is embroidered and holds 6 unique symbols per scarf. All symbol placements differ.
All BATIK fabrics used are unique, handmade, handprinted, 100% cotton, with a fine weave which makes them all very beautiful. Any imperfections are intentional due to the hand-printing of this fabric.
