Tiempo de Zafra is a fashion project founded by Stephanie Bezarra and Edgar Garrido. Their practice begins in the street markets of Santo Domingo, working with *pacas* —massive bales of secondhand clothes shipped from the U.S.— and it transforms what’s been discarded into something entirely new. They stitch their own textiles from scraps, then design bold silhouettes layered with color, graphic prints, and intention. Beyond fashion, their work spans video, photography, and sculpture, often pointing to larger conversations around waste, value, and survival. In this episode, we talk about process, politics, and building something meaningful from what already exists. Thank you Tiempo de Zafra.
