Age of Aquarius” is ethically made second skin top in a print by Alja Horvat. It’s made from stretchable material that is light and “grips” your body (that’s why also the name “second skin”). You can match this top with the skirts with the same print, as they’re made from the same material. Combining top and the skirt creates a visual effect of a dress with long sleeves.
We can't get enough of the dreamy work of illustrator and designer Alja Horvat. Based in Slovenia, Alja is a well-known artist who creates her own patterns from her illustrations and then designs beautiful wearable pieces from sustainable fabrics. We love the surreal and retro-inspired vibe she creates with her pieces and are thrilled to bring her pieces to Canada.
