Digitally printed, Supima denim with geometric motif depicting a human body.

CUERPA = body, gendered feminine.

Digitally printed on Supima denim is a wide, body-distorting jumpsuit, our first signature silhouette. The print is an abstract representation of a menstruating body. The designer, as many other people with vulvas, struggles to feel connected to her reproductive and sexual organs, having hormonal imbalances that affect her emotional wellbeing, menstrual cycle and limit her ability to feel pleasure during sexual encounters. In the current system, female bodies’ pain and irregularities are widely misunderstood and dismissed. Depictions of nude bodies, particularly during menstruation, is about taking ownership over our bodies in a world where we are conditioned to hide it, or stylize it, for the male gaze.

The process of illustrating and building this piece was extremely healing for the designer, and hopes whoever wears the piece can heal their relationship with their body through it as well. The print uses geometric motifs to emphasize parts of our internal and external organs. As you move or press the jumpsuit, the shape of the jumpsuit changes, distorting the body in unusually beautiful ways.

Amanda’s wearable art pieces are created to have an intimate and spiritual interaction with the wearer. She hopes to spark intuitive dressing in her audience, which refers to purchasing, owning, lending, mending and wearing pieces that have spiritual meaning because of the way they were made, what is depicted in them and how it makes you feel when you wear them. As with the scarves, each piece represents something about us, our existence and how that connects to our natural surroundings. The pieces are done combining industrial techniques with couture techniques, taught to the designer by her grandmother. Each piece is meant to distort the body in unusual, alien ways as you move in them, imagining new ways of seeing beauty outside the modern beauty standard.

As part of Amanda’s formula, every silhouette is seen as a three dimensional canvas, and every print lives completely in symbiosis with each piece’s shape. The prints are designed alongside the draping and pattern making process.

All pieces are made of deadstock, donated, and/or sourced non-organic and organic cotton. No chemical dyes were used to color the pieces. Printing happened locally in New York and abroad in London, in a small, women-owned experimental screen printing facility. All samples were designed, fitted and developed in-house, with a full small-batch production run done in Utuado, Puerto Rico.
