LAKRAS

Lakas was founded and is currently directed and run by Maria Alejandra Caicedo, also known as Alek @alekaicedo, Alek Lakras and Alejandra Caicedo. . it as a laboratory of modified garments, accessories, crooked fabrics, experiential pieces; non-useful objects, decorative objects and rubbish. Your question incorporates the liberation of absurd forces through intuitions that result in different amulets. Within its multiplicity, Lakras ranges from analog and "Crafty" to a future of digital pieces. A game within an eclectic portal, but homogeneous. Like the search for "the future", which is not something that advances but is already here. A reality that extends to fictions or mythological characters that are the friends themselves or is life itself. Lakras insists on the processes that arise from the depths of affection, on the questions when working with others. The project insists on valuing what is made by hand, not massive productions, no garment seeks to be perfect. Beyond being conceived only as a brand, the embodied value that it gives to its pieces transcends the ephemeral state of garments and manifests itself as something worthy of being treasured but at the same time at the time it can be forgotten...but shared.
