Art Comes First - EL CHARRO NEGRO S/S 2020

The new collection is based on the Yeehaw black aesthetic, which was inspired by a trip to Mexico. Falling in love with the Charro culture. This is a sequel to the AW17 Billism collection, as the designers found themselves mixing western Mexican style with their usual sartorial punk, heavy metalwork, and expanding on what was covered on billism.

The Wrangling cattle and the riding, training, and keeping of horses are practices that have been mastered by black Americans since the 1800s, but the impact that African American men and women have had on cowboy culture is not well known. During the Civil War, Texas slave owners left cattle wrangling up to the black slaves they purchased while the slave owners fought in battle. After the war ended, many slaves had become expert cowhands, and roughly 25 percent of cowboys were black.

No items found.

Mexican culture is so rich on handcraft techniques such as embroidery, tapestry, metalsmith, weaving, prints, and naturally these elements have been incorporated into the new collection.
