Luna del Pinal | Fashion Designers

The 5th visit for ‘A Collection Of Spaces’ is with Gabriela Luna & Corina del Pinal - Fashion Designers.

Their brand Luna del Pinal is a destination-led, artisanal womenswear and lifestyle brand, designed and produced in Guatemala.

I reached out to Gabriela & Corina from fashion & lifestyle brand Luna del Punal and they invited me to their studio space in Bethnal Green. Houses in what appeared to be the old council headquarters. They had worked with Luke & Nik from episode 1 on a video & photo series a few summers ago & I’d heard great things 🙏🏻

The duo whose bright corner studio was filled with fabrics, samples and objects for their research trips.

A space surrounded by artists & painters whose studio spaces were divided up by curtains and bed sheets, something that you often see in these temporary studio before a developer takes the land back. Contrasting to an outsiders perception of glamour you often associate with the fashion world.

We spoke about their early days of building the brand in London and the journey they took to discover the artisans and crafts people they now work collaboratively with in Guatemala. A collaboration which developed from a creative soul searching trip to learn about textiles and weaving.

I learnt about the process of creating, showcasing & selling a fashion collection, what that really means and how long it takes to go from an idea in a sketchbook to an item which you can wear every day.

Gabriela & Corina are full of excitement for the processes and fabrics they have discovered from their research trips. It was an enjoyable hour spent in the studio and I hope that comes across in the conversation.
