INDUSTRY PROJECT - URBAN OUTFITTERS

The UO collaboration consisted of 4 ranges inspired by women around the world fighting injustice and climate change. The Co'oleel Caab soft top made for Urban Outfitters was part of the Mexican range, inspired by the women's collective Co'oleel Caab in Yucatan, Mexico. The women have found a way to bring a community together whilst saving bees and keeping a (traditionally male led) tradition alive. The 3 other ranges were inspired by the Palestinian women fighting apartheid, the women in West Papua fighting oppression and against the oil industry and last but not least, the women in the Amazon fighting to protect their land.
