Anaak’s yellow and off-white Aria shorts are hand-dyed by local Indian artisans using natural dyes, echoing the label’s dedication to ethical production methods. They’re crafted from breezy cotton gauze treated with a crinkled effect and fall to a loose drape with buttoned side seams which accentuate the relaxed silhouette.
Artist and textile designer Marissa Maximo works with small artisanal communities, especially disadvantaged women, to create her breezy, free-spirited dresses and separates in an environmentally-conscious way, using natural fibres like cotton (organic where possible) voile, muslin and silk, and non-toxic vegetable dyes.
