Minimini is a clothes collection for little girls, developed under slow fashion and hand made philosophy. It is directed to an audience that live an extreme femininity way of life and I named it sense girls’ little girls. Slow Fashion is developed under a statement against massive production and reproduction of clothes and fashion accessories, also against fast and accelerated changes in trends and clothing. It proposes a return to basics by developing pieces highly designed that allowed them to survive trends and have longer lives. Hand made is a fundamental value of Slow Fashion because it proposes a specific production system. Materials used in the brand clothes are mainly silks, cottons, linens and laces; material manipulation includes screen-printing, drawing, embroidery and digital printing.
Minimini is the firs brand of Carolina Agudelo | Surface and Textile Design. It was created and developed in 2010 together with Maria C. Bernal (a.k.a. my mother) a colombian fashion designer.
