The sustainability-centric brand's latest collection features fungi as a design motif, a raw material and a lookbook backdrop.
Author:Whitney BauckPublish date:Aug 4, 2020Mushrooms are having a real moment. They're showing up in our wellness supplements, as print motifs on our clothing, in documentaries narrated by our favorite red carpet stars and even as materials out of which to make our clothing. For Eden Power Corp, a newish brand focused on earth-conscious fabrications and sustainability education, mushrooms are inspiring from both a raw material and design standpoint.
The collection itself features fungi motifs, in addition to graphic-free clothing in a range of mushroom-y hues. But perhaps most remarkable is the Amadou hat made of a single mushroom, which pulls from Larose's own history as a milliner and required partnership with a Transylvanian artisan to create.
Beyond the hat, Eden Power Corp also released wine buckets , a planter and a brick made of mycelium this season. They're eager to work with mushroom leather alternatives in the future, though Larose admits that those aren't quite available for commercial use yet and they might be cost-prohibitive once they are.
"These are small examples of what a one-year-old brand can do with no team and no real budget. We're so far from perfect and there's so much we would like to change but we go one step at a time," Larose says.
