Turtlehorn, led by designer María Voth Velasco, unveils a collaborative collection with Frank Jewels, showcased at Doors NYC. This intimate event highlights the brand’s signature unisex, one-size designs, which seamlessly blend skate culture with artistic expression, promoting freedom and unity.
At the heart of Turtlehorn is the philosophy, “Waste materials are our new raw materials.” The brand’s emblem, the horned turtle, symbolizes its meticulous and patient approach to fashion. My personal introduction to the brand came through the ‘Shoe Jacket,’ which immediately resonated with me, reinforcing the principle, “not who you wear how.” This piece exemplified Turtlehorn’s commitment to authenticity, resourcefulness, and a unique take on streetwear, going beyond trends to establish a lasting, iconic identity within the brand.
