Functional, stylish, and sophisticated, the Eros & Psyche skirts are staple pieces for the wardrobe of the future. An emerging designer is crowdfunding for a waterproof and stain-resistant designer skirt without giving up style.
The New York-based fashion brand is over 100% funded on Kickstarter, reaching over 50% of their target in just under 48 hours. The campaign will end in 18 more days on February 22, 2016. Kickstarter link: http://kck.st/1ncAbwx
Their skirts use “smart textiles” coated with thousands of hydrophobic particles, causing water to bead up and preventing stains from setting in.
“There are plenty of startups focusing on function or looks but rarely both. We’re arranging a romance, so to speak, between an unlikely couple: science and style. That’s the future of fashion,” states CEO Alexeis Baqui.
Fashion Designer and founder Debbie Yang channels the brand’s inspiration from the classic mythological tale of Cupid and his love Psyche but with a contemporary twist. “We design for the fun, spontaneous, witty, and refined woman who lives life carefree. She is the modern day Psyche.”
The skirt comes with plenty of functional features. Elongated pleats naturally accentuate curves and provide much needed flexibility. Each garment is made of a satin fabric that is soft to the touch but durable enough last. On top of all of those, it also has deep pockets.
The Eros & Psyche collection is designed the traditional way: with paintbrush and easel. Their prints are uniquely hand-drawn and the color palette is carefully selected to suit various skin tones. Each garment is hand-sewn here at home in the garment district of New York City. By conserving the craftsmanship and artistry of design, each skirt is a work of art. Literally.
So the next time the wine spills, go ahead, smile and embrace the accident. Then brush it off as if nothing ever happened.
