“The act of getting dressed has always been a hopeful part of my day.”
always knew that she wanted to make clothes. After studying “the form of identity through dress” at NYU’s Gallatin School, becoming a fashion designer just made sense. But it wasn’t until she started wearing her own hand-sewn garments in 2016 that friends began to flock to the 25-year-old designer for vibrant pieces of their own.
i-D sat down with the New York-based designer to discuss sustainability, the importance of color, and why supporting your friends is one of the most important aspects of the creative process.I worked for different designers in college and when I graduated I knew I wanted to make clothes and do creative things. I felt like the best outlet for that was making clothes because that’s been something I’ve always been interested in.
Some people assume that if you make something domestically you can have more control, but often times when I talk to other independent designers they say that you can have horrible labor conditions anywhere. I think the most important aspect of designing is that you visit the factories and meet the people who are making your clothes, so that you understand the process of how something gets made.
I think that there are a lot of ways to look at sustainability and one of the main ways is to think about what materials you’re using and how you market that. My brand is trying to shift towards making pieces that will last for a long time. We’ve also been thinking about making our packaging fully recyclable and making sure that when we cut our patterns there is no waste. We are also working with my friend who does natural dying to come up with a color we can use for next season.
