TEXT(S) TURE(S) Firenze Fashion Show 2025 · Collection by Martina Toya Malo
“My collection celebrates the beauty of Ecuadorian tradition while pushing its boundaries—transforming Paja Toquilla from ancestral technique to a new language of contemporary design.”
- Martina Troya Malo
This collection reimagines Ecuadorian craftsmanship by using Paja Toquilla—traditionally employed for Panama hats—in intricate, hand-crocheted floral compositions. Over 800 flowers were crafted, combining artisanal heritage with innovative silhouettes.
Martina Troya Malo is a 22-year-old Fashion Design & Accessories student from Quito, Ecuador. Deeply rooted in cultural heritage, she collaborated with local artisans to explore material innovation.
