PUPPETS AND PUPPETS

-- --

Puppets and Puppets is a brand founded by Carly Marx in 2019, assisted by Ayla Argentina. Together they create real sculptural dresses that seem to come to life on the catwalks. The brand wants to make a stand against the American culture of consumption, in an often extravagant way (we, as consumers, are the puppets attached to a thread) and it does so by actively participating in the conversations about sustainability. The two designers try to avoid as much waste as possible, using recycled, organic and vintage materials. The wool comes from certified mills that meet the Responsible Wool Standard. The brand collaborates with factories that produce carbon positive materials and establish circularity in their supply chain. Artisan women are at the heart of the brand and packaging is made from 100% recycled paper. Also the shoes are ethical: Mark created, for his first collection, resin platforms, securing them to vintage pumps, loafers, and boots.
