For her latest women’s tale, @gabrielahearst was inspired by the Druids, the high-ranking priestly class living among the Celts in ancient Europe circa the third century BC.

“Druid society had women in a very prime spot,” she said, explaining her research into high priestesses and witches, and how it led her to Haitian artist Levoy Exil and the spiritual motifs he weaves into his work. He, along with the cooperative the brand works with in Bolivia, designed macramé knits for the collection.

“It took 31 artisans more than 5,000 hours to make the pieces in show. The white macramé poncho alone took 1,500 hours,” she said, noting she has the customer for it. “We have four clients who requested custom-made couture pieces; they are ready to pay for something between a garment and art.”
