The fabrics are deconstructed and reconstructed so as not only to fulfill the function of being part of a garment, but to elevate its purpose on a practical and psychological level.The burning technique has made it easier for us to transmit sensations that cause amazement, admiration and curiosity.

Purpose and function merge, garments are not just an object that shelters, they are works of art that express emotions and must be passed down from generation to generation. Designers who have been inspired are Balenciaga, Johji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, John Galliano, Martin Margiela and Rei Kawakubo. Lucio Fontana and spatialism have been essential for the development of the concept. The canvases, through cuts and overexposure, go from being flat to three-dimensional, gaining depth and a unique chromatic effect. Each garment and each accessory is handmade in the Slow Fashion concept, generating haute couture that takes advantage of destroyed, torn and burned fabrics. Skinnor addresses a public that understands, thinks, feels and values ​​fashion as an art form and not as a commercial source.
