| Introduction | I realize now that Gaia was conceptualized from my love of beauty AND my need to be comfortable(as a mother of 6, I chose the name GAIA with intention).I would not realize for at least 15 years into my endeavor that this gift was to satisfy also my love of Art. I see my self at my canvas mixing paints, layering,- adding textures and realize that I have collected pieces of clothing for women to use their closest canvas(the body)as their work of art. Mixing, layering, taking pieces from the past and adding new and exciting touches- this was our connection to our deepest roots as collectors of beauty. I became, in my searches, a cultural anthropologist, gleaning spirit and beauty from women of every culture to bring to people who would walk through the doors of Gaia- I became a textile fanatic and drew on beauty from the Americas to Zimbabwe-I love exquisite fabrics and details in construction! I choose my collections intuitively leaning towards unconstructed "conscious of the body" clothing that is timeless, complex and creative.... and I love passing this gift onto you.. |
