Fashion Design AAS
Woven Fate is a wearable celebration of tactility and fiber art. It embraces natural elements and handwork as an exploration of our feelings- physical and metaphysical.
Raw finishes, time-worn textiles, and slow methods of making are used to connect with the existential themes of humanity.
