Evve

Project Statement

This wardrobe subverts expectations of the ‘modern professional’ where rigidity and control in tailored garments become deconstructed. Each piece is made in organic cotton muslin, bringing forth the material of unseen and underappreciated labor, referencing the stage of drafting in clothing design. The pieces distill components of office wear and disrupt expectations of the body in orderly spaces. Value systems are reassessed, asserting multiple ways of existing- in constructing clothing, dressing, and attitudes on professionalism.

About Evve

Evve is a garment designer and artist.  Her work is informed by the renewal of conventional clothing by questioning the systems they live within.  Memories of silhouettes, balance in form, and tension in material are key principles in her designs.

Evve gained an education in garment construction at Syracuse University where she graduated with a BFA in fashion design in 2021.  Currently, she is working on her sixth capsule wardrobe.

MFA in Applied Craft + Design
