Kilometre Paris
A travel guide of sorts is how one might choose to describe Kilometre Paris’ collections. Through the art of embroidery, founder Alexandra Senes tells stories of faraway lands, mapping out off-the-beaten-track locales onto handwoven cotton and linen. Since its founding in 2017, this poetic project has honored the work of remarkable talents across Mexico, Kolkata and Essaouira with its conscious, craft-focused approach that puts tradition and ancestral knowledge at the fore. The result is a series of exquisitely made pieces that are beautiful in both theory and practice, speaking to Senes’ dreamer persona while bringing awareness to marginalized and misrepresented cultures and communities across the globe.
