Sun-Soaked and Hazy: Ace & Jig’s Stunning New Spring 2016 Fashion Film

AceJig SS2016_main

Cary Vaughan and Jenna Wilson of Ace & Jig have done it again! This time around, the duo collaborated with Wolfgang Laib, a German conceptual artist known for his work with perishable organic materials such as pollen, milk, and wool.

The result is a beautiful collection of geometrically patterned textiles reminiscent of Leib’s sculptural work. And as always, Ace & Jig’s dedication to traditional design is apparent in their loom-woven cotton fabrics – a welcome contrast to fast-fashion’s automated process.

Directed by Carissa and Andrew Gallo and set to singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten’s seductive “I Wish I Knew,” Ace & Jig’s Spring 2016 fashion film is dreamy and full of warmth. Check out the video and the Gallo’s sun-tinged still shots above and below.

Though Eco Chickies will have to wait to shop the new collection, there are still a lot of effortlessly sustainable looks to go around.
