Momos is a collection whose inspiration originates in Brazil, its design in Spain, and its execution in India. The inspiration for its design emerged over twenty years ago during a trip to northern Brazil, when José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales was captivated by a curious local textile craft in the state of Maranhão, whose aesthetic resembled butterfly eggs.
That unique fabric remained in his memory until, with the experience and embroidery skill of the artisans at our GAN Women Unit, he managed to reinterpret and translate it into the design of the Momos collection. The aesthetic of the resulting fabric, with its three-dimensional and fractal texture, also offers a complete sensory experience due to the lightness of its felted wool surfaces.
The female artisans of the GAN Women Unit, our social mission in India, are highly skilled in embroidery. Their experience, dexterity, and ability allowed them to perfectly understand the design vision José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales sought for the Momos collection, achieving a very precise reproduction and reinterpretation of traditional Brazilian embroideries.
