Garments to heal your body mind and soul and empower you from the inside out!
We are all made up of the same atoms and energetic particles; everything on this earth is made up of the same energy. Our hearts have more neuro mass than even our brains, picking up signals and magnetic waves from a greater distance than our brains! We have the ability to tune into plants’ and trees’ consciousness. Tuning into our hearts can help us communicate with plants as they communicate at that same energetic level. Together let’s explore this.
EIRINN HAYHOW launched her new collection PLANTASIA for London Fashion Week at The Crypt Gallery on September 20th. She presented an evening of immersive experimental performance, through movements, installation and video work, that embodies the energy waves from both plants and mushrooms.
The event was lit up with phenomenal Sculptural installation by Chloe Das Neves, video art
by Benny Bowls and Installation by Poppy Phibbs. The event featured the latest collections by
emerging streetwear brand LOSER GANG by Dream Safari, Along with Beautiful sprout
sculptures by Freyja Crow and Jewelry by Chloe Frame. The models were dressed with Chloe’s
jewellery for the show, featuring a collaboration with EIRINN HAYHOW and her biomaterial
scraps. Flowers were donated very kindly from Bella Gonshorovitz’s allotment, Bella is also a
very talented maker, chef and florist.
The makeup team consisted of a wonderful team of talented artists from LUSH, a beautiful sponsorship brought on with the collaboration with EIRINN HAYHOW and Jen Hunter, the lead makeup artist. Such an honour to work with such magical humans and a company so aligned with EIRINN HAYHOWS values.
Hayley Edwards was the hair stylist and has supported EIRINN for many of her productions. The pair collaborated on hair design, using EIRINN’s plant-based inks as hair dye for the collection. Photography was by David PD Hyde and Videography was by Jess Dadds. Jess and EIRINN have worked together on the majority of her projects and his work is absolutely amazing! Witchy Drinks were provided by Zambur ferments. Mugwort beer, kombucha and lion mane drinks are grown locally and foraged from the Kent Coasts.
The collection itself combines together EIRINN HAYHOWS’s use of plant magic, creating a kaleidoscopic array of colours from plants, herbs, barks and ground crystals. Incorporating specific healing properties in an attempt to heal the wearer from anxiety, depression and other nervous disorders. EIRINN HAYHOW also grew her own coffee leather, plant-based leather and orange and banana leather that made couture pieces, as well as accessories for the collection.
EIRINN HAYHOW also collaborated with Hakan Keppler and Buffalo London. Reimagining Hakan’s charity pride show, customising them with waste fabric and biomaterials from the collection.
The beautiful models, who have worked consecutively with EIRINN and many of whom have
also, become lifelong friends.
