In the fast-paced world of high fashion, innovation often takes center stage. At Paris Fashion Week, Janelle Funari of Funari New York did just that, making history by showcasing a full runway collection that not only turned heads but also made a statement on sustainability and inclusivity.
The Funari Paris line, unveiled at this prestigious event, featured a stunning array of luxurious lingerie, dresses, and jackets. What set this collection apart was its commitment to eco-conscious fashion. Funari harnessed the power of breathable, eco-friendly fibers to create a unique concept known as “comfortable Eco-Couture.”
But how did it all begin? The Funari Pet Collection had its humble origins in 2014 when designer Janelle Funari faced a unique challenge: finding clothing for her curvy French Bulldog, Maxine. Resourceful and environmentally conscious, she began recycling fabrics from her runway collections to craft stylish attire for pets. This endeavor blossomed into a full-fledged collection, embodying the principles of high fashion with practicality, eco-friendly fabrication, and sustainable practices.
The ethos of Funari’s collections is all about empowerment, sexiness, confidence, and versatility. This season’s lineup showcased flattering, feminine pieces with a touch of masculine flare, reminiscent of the retro 70s, and a nod to historical fashion. The color palette, both muted and vivid, included mustard, dusty pink, robin’s egg blue, teal, gold, and the ever-present core shade of the Funari brand: black. The exclusive print of the season featured a distorted hand-painted abstract artwork in teal and hot pink hues, adding a splash of artistic flair to the collection.
Key styles in the collection included a fit and flare raincoat featuring unique materials like laser-cut foiled lace and waterproof technology, as well as vegan leather trench coats hand-painted by artist Jodi DeCrenza. Palazzo-style pleated, vegan leather pants offered versatility in many color options and boasted wrinkle-resistant recycled techno fibers. The collection’s silhouettes ranged from comfortable corset styles paired with flowing ruffle skirts to floor-length skirts and pencil skirts, catering to diverse fashion preferences.
