less of a brand, more of a practice.
with deadstock textiles and antique linens zoe gustavia anna whalen crafts sculptural entities, designed for our soft, evolving bodies. preindustrial silhouettes and historical forms of body modification inform a contemporary proposal of dress, one that looks to the wisdom of a lost method of creation.
each piece is draped, patterned and sewn by hand in her new york studio, infused with intention from sourcing to creation, every garment operating as a spell, a vessel for psychic communication.
these historically informed silhouettes propose a new future; a new way of relating to one another, our objects and ourselves.
after starting her eponymous label in 2022, zoe continues to release seasonal collections showcased with multi faceted performances and happenings during new york fashion week. her work has been recognized by the CFDA, SFC and major publications such as vogue, i-D, purple, dazed, cultured, the cut, the new york times, new york magazine and more.
