“I was thinking about the colors of the yarn in relation to the colors of humanity and how to mix them in a beautiful way.” - Marcia Patmos, M.Patmos

C3 – as in Circular Capsule Collection – is a limited edition collaboration created exclusively by CFDA + Lexus Fashion* Initiative 2.0 finalists Studio 189, Cienne, Whit, M.Patmos, and St. Roche and available now at the new Intersect by Lexus NYC space.

Inspired by circularity and design for all, C3 shows what can happen when industry leaders place equal value on people, planet and profit. Applying the principles of the Fashion* Initiative to inspire, innovate, and imagine, each brand envisioned a signature concept for the five-piece limited edition collection.

The collection is produced with Cradle2Cradle Gold Certified Millennium Nature, an organic wool yarn originally developed for Stella McCartney and made in Italy by Zegna Baruffa. The nearly zero-waste knitwear is made using Shima technology, working with CFDA manufacturing partners, Tailored Industry in Brooklyn, Nimbly in Los Angeles and New York Embroidery in the Garment Center, Down to the details, C3 is impact-positive including the recycled materials used for hangtags by Talon International.

Head over to Intersect by Lexus to experience the C3 exhibition designed by Oana Stănescu, known for her collaborations with Virgil Abloh, New Museum, and Kanye West.

C3 is available for purchase exclusively at Intersect by Lexus at  412 West 14th Street beginning Nov. 19 through Dec. 14th open 7 am – 10 pm daily.
