If you mention AZULIK, students studying fashion may feel unfamiliar, because it is a Mexican group famous for its environmentally friendly buildings and installations. Their architectural style is like this.

And when architecture crosses over into fashion, they take it seriously – Anikena, a Mexican fashion brand founded in November 2018, was born in the luxury eco-resort Azulik. Anikena’s full name is actually “Aníkena by AZULIK”. It works with local communities to help the community, boost the economy, and protect ancestral techniques.

Born under the blazing Caribbean sun, bred in the wild and lush jungle, and gently caressed by the weave of the ocean, Anikena combines the best of nature with the finest artisanal fashion skills.

Nature shapes the lives of the locals. The colors of the forests, the Caribbean climate, the blue ocean, the white sand beaches, and the ever-present sunshine. Here, only one thing matters: connection with Mother Earth. Thus, the brand’s unique “Jungle Couture” concept was born.

Of course, nature isn’t always gentle. It can be dark and incomprehensible, so it keeps us forever in awe and constantly seeking its power.

The ocean itself is a work of art. If we listen, it can inspire us endlessly. Anikena designs jewelry that captures the ocean’s wild spirit.

Anikena liberates the female body from its inherent form, releasing its wild beauty. Clothes are not just accessories, but a mirror of the divine power within.

As a representative of “Slow Fashion”, Anikena rejects mass production, making people forget about fast fashion, waste and incredible pollution in the textile industry, and embrace sustainable and ethical fashion.

Each piece is guaranteed to meet environmental protection requirements in the dyeing process, using linen, cotton, and silk. If synthetic fibers are used, they are recycled and the designer team insists on producing on demand and completing them 100% by hand.

Silks, linens and woven fibers from palm trees undergo a natural dyeing process that gives them the colors of fresh, exotic flowers, barks, leaves and woods found in the jungle. All clothes are unique and carry the flaws and imperfections of nature.

Anikena collects natural elements such as shells, semi-precious stones, crystals and transforms them into decorative items. Embroidered textiles with pearls, semi-precious stones, crystals, shells, natural fibers, lace, palm hats, all of which are reminiscent of used fishing nets.

Just as humans have always dreamed of eternity, Anikena’s work is timeless, unforgettable, and destined to last a lifetime.
