lydia prezioso

A rising force in the city of Womanhattan, New York City. A cross-disciplinary creative built on the foundation of fashion design, the gap in the crossover is where my work lives. I understand fit, silhouette, and construction down to the pattern level. Fit and fiber inform everything.

I am informed by some of the most profound leaders in fiber arts and textile innovation through my work with the World Shibori Network. This access to guided research around material culture has fundamentally changed my understanding of fashion as an industry, one capable of extraordinary harm and extraordinary beauty, and currently at the center of the most urgent human issues we face. This is the level of care I intend to work at.

I design for women by a woman who understands that we contain multitudes, and I bring that same range to every discipline I enter. My generation inherited a broken industry, and I intend to fix my corner of it, with an ethical spine and a cultural literacy that informs every decision I make.
