Paige Petrosso is a luxury ready-to-wear and couture designer with experience spanning mass-market production to bespoke high fashion. Her rare experience across both ends of the industry provides her with a holistic perspective on design, one that balances a deep commitment to craftsmanship with strong product development and management expertise. She has also studied in several fashion capitals, including Antwerp, Paris, and Milan, ultimately cultivating a broadened worldview that informs her creative vision.
“A mind trapped in yesterday,” explores emotional fallout from abrupt life change. Ezenwa E. Olumba’s studies on cognitive immobility provide language for the pull of reconstructed memories, a looping archive of glorified experiences that comforts while distorting reality. The result is a warped past, stolen moments in the present, and shifted expectations of the future. Structured outerwear, manipulated familiar forms, and material that contains memory, translate psychological paralysis into tactile form and embody nostalgia’s weight, safety, and quiet suffocation within garments that hold memory close.
