Loro Piana Knit Design Award 2025

Interwoven Resonance is a project that reflects both my partner's and my cultures of Chinese-American and Colombian-American. The journey of immigrants to the US has profoundly shaped the identities of individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering a duality that reflects both cultures. We wanted to create a garment that was reflective of us both with the use of Loro Piana’s yarns, while also creating a winter legacy.
