María Elena Pombo creates made-to-order clothing dyed with all kinds of food waste, including walnut shells and onion skins. But avocado pits are her main medium. The dye of avocado seeds is “very magical,” she said. “I would never have imagined that it was going to be pink.” Photo by @sashafoto

fragmentario_ @khuth89 Hi! I am not sure if you read the article, which has very informative information. It goes in depth into the first recordings of avocado seeds used for color in central and South America and more about the history of the fruit itself and the context of my work (which has very little to do with textiles tbh, the context, not the output, which of course includes textiles because they are my medium). The article also mentioned my use of water from around the world, with different mineral content etc, to change the colors I obtain with the seeds. I started Fragmentario as a public project in 2016, but I have been actively working with natural dyes since 2014 and researching their history since 2013 when I first found out about them as I was helping my boyfriend at the time, now husband, make some bags. He didn't like the colors in the store and proposed we dye the fabrics with nuts, onions or avocados. The plants you correctly said have been used for many generations, long before anyone alive in our era.

khuth89 @mel.riling Of course- i am not saying that Ryan Roche discovered using avocado as dye, but i am saying that her CFDA nomination (and the coverage of her nomination) helped put avocado-dying as a trend in the textile world years ago. I was an intern at the Textile Ctr of MN at that time, where trends happen even later than the Coasts, so this trend is really old. I know than IG, Twitter, etc., makes news publications desperate for content 24/7, but posting something that was an escalating trend years ago seems lazy.

smith_lesser_ My profound gratitude goes to the man who brought me out of bondage and debt. I always leave a miserable life, until I read up a post about Sir @jordan_horold i put in my salary and invest with him, now I’ve gotten my first withdrawal all with the help of Sir jordan_horold I never taught I can earn this much in bitcoin trade aside my normal work but Sir @jordan_horold prove me wrong by making me earn $3.050 with a start amount of $300

mel.riling @khuth89 but not everything is about trends.. Yes, Ryan may have been a white woman in her 30s doing something on trend, but María Elena of @fragmentario_ is a Venezuelan woman who has been exploring and experimenting with materials she knows from her native country. I think the timing is perfect. An article that’s highlighting an immigrant maker is what we need after Trump just told 4 other women of color to “go back home.”

khuth89 @fragmentario_ Hello! I have no problem with your use of avocados or any natural dyes. My critique was always on the short-comings this NYTfashion’s IG post regarding this feature/news. I still love using and learning about dye-plants like you, so please keep up the good work!

mel.riling @khuth89 hmm, it seems to me like you are really just a (bitter/boring) know it all trying to flex your (weak) muscles. But!! Maybe you should apply for a job with NYT and can show them where and how they’ve failed and fix it and make the whole world a better place! ?
