Tintorería is the type of project that can only result from an intersection of grand imaginings, artistry + collaboration. Maria Romero is an artist who has a dye kitchen in her studio modeled after "earlier dye houses, where people would drop off their garments to be re-colored".
Food waste is gathered from local New York restaurants + community gardens to become the dye material. Maria has designed a few basic pieces that are made in New York from natural fibers to take her dyes. She has also collaborated with the New Denim Project to dye some pieces made closer to them in Guatemala City. Gosh, I love a project where zero-waste + fair fashion come together!
