AMALYA MEIRA
In dreamlike crochet and sunprinted silks, Amalya creates wearable and non wearable works examining time, materiality and intention. Often employing inherently ephemeral and sight specific techniques to realize familiar shapes, these out of time relics guide one to consider the intrinsic potential of well loved silhouettes, and how they may be reanimated. Celebrating the maker, Amalya’s hand is consciously ever present. Utilizing a vocabulary of transparent construction and zero waste patterning throughout, Amalya’s eponymous clothing line Amalya Meira favors the highly textured & is composed solely of repurposed or deadstock materials.
Amalya Meira is currently showing her weaving collection Etrusia in Tempest Gallery’s DAISIES show & Moss Bikini/Hat sets in 334 Broome Gallery’s HOSONO ISLAND show. Recently she debuted collaborative film Moss World, presented Tidepool, a new collection in Reworked Runway interactive showcase, and created custom crochet works for the A24 film Materialists. Amalya has shown works as Fabscrap New York Featured Designer, at NYFW, Paris Fashion Week, Miami Art Basel and has works currently stocked in stores throughout New York, Guadalajara and Mexico City. Amalya holds degrees from Central St. Martins, Parsons and Eugene Lang.
LOGAN BLAGG
No thread unaccounted for, Logan Blagg sees the value in all materials. With a paramount interest in sustainable production and playful envisioning, Logan’s mission is to dress forms in this harmony without contributing to the waste of the fashion industry. Logan began tinkering with fabric scraps while studying at Stephen’s College. Working in the production room of the Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator further developed her process of collaging scraps to create larger moments. Recently, Logan’s trove of textiles was met with a screen of gems when her mother’s generational jewelry shop closed its doors. Forged by this new mingling of collected remnants and jewels, Logan Blagg’s clothing and accessories shine with the past, fusing retro futurism and fantasy into one of a kind pieces.
