My Dress Was Featured on a Japanese TV Show ⁉️

One of my dresses was featured on Kawaii.i !!! A little bit ago I entered a sustainable DIY contest that was put on by Kawaii International of NHK broadcasting and I earned a feature. While I didn't win the contest, I'm still incredibly honored to have been featured on the show!

Hi! I'm The Stitchess! I'm an interdisciplinary artist and seamstress. I started sewing when I was 8 and loved it so much I made it the focus of my study in college. After a lifetime of battling severe mental health issues - I found healing in the radical softness and Japanese kawaii communities. As much as I love fashion and clothing, I also think it's important to consider how and where clothing is made. I went fast fashion free at the start of 2019 to voice my concerns over the rapid consumerism gripping the garment industry. By no means am I perfect, but I think it's important to show that change is a process. I believe it is always important to strive to be better, even if perfection is unattainable. Thank you so much for letting me share my art and process with you. I hope we can all grow together.
