FASHION WEEK SAN DIEGO


ALPACA COUTURE Cofounded in 2012 by Creative Director Antonella


Commatteo and Management Director Wade Von Giessen, Alpaca Couture aims to creatively express individual identities through the mix of earth-friendly, renewable textiles. The fashion label creates unique designs, develops


collections and provides services for others wanting to utilize alpaca fibres or any other fabric of choice. Height- ening awareness of the alpaca natural fibre supports an industry that, in turn, actively contributes to the success of our collections through further exposure of the animals and their superior fleece. Alpaca Couture looks to generate demand for alpaca fashion and ultimately change perceptions for its use beyond that of traditional knit wear. The brand’s collection, Freedom, aims to chart new


and unique territory in the fashion industry through its use of unique concepts and designs. Integrating mainly alpaca fiber into classic, while slightly edgy garments, demonstrates the applicability of this rare fleece into one’s dynamic lifestyle. Commatteo/Von Giessen continue to articulate their


gift in intriguing designs through a mix of other uber- luxury textiles in their Escape collection. Staying true to company philosophy, Escape, is a launch pad into using other earth friendly, renewable recourses like bamboo and silk. These designs usher in the seasons top colors and sexy layering effects, creating stunning silhouettes.
