  • ABOUT THE ARTIST

    Margarita Cantu Elleby

     

    She finished her professional training at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Later, she began her first commercial project Omorika, the clothing proposal with which she opened the FÁBRICA store on Greenwich St and W 11th St. It was in New York where she had her first approach to traditional weaving techniques in the studio of the textile and dyeing specialist Linda LaBelle. In order to obtain her own fabrics for Omorika, in addition to learning about the different looms and artisanal textile expressions of Mexico, Margarita visited San Cristóbal de las Casas, in the highlands of the state of Chiapas, where she met the women who would transmit their knowledge about the preparation of the threads, the warping and the weaving itself, on a backstrap loom and a pedal loom. This is how she learned to speak the same technical language that indigenous artisans speak: through her hands. For 12 years, Margarita has found the teachers of her workshop in the communities of Chiapas with whom she develops collaborative projects of clothing and accessories (Omorika), art (MC), intervention of spaces and interior design (Taller 67) that exalt the techniques and traditional crafts, exercising its design proposal under a professional ethic governed by the experimentation of techniques and natural or recycled materials, fair trade, respect for the environment and cultural identity, obtaining pieces for ornamental or commercial purposes, exhibited in spaces such as galleries, museums, hotels, concept stores or private residences.
