@_karinasywa_ sees fashion as a way to preserve, reinterpret, and carry her culture forward. Drawing from her Indonesian heritage and instinct for experimentation, the New-York based designer creates garments that honor her past while imagining something entirely new. In conversation with @pepperlovve, our Co-Founder/Visuals Director, Karina reflects on her creative process, sustainability, and designing with intention.

Wrapped in vision, color, and intention. ✨
So grateful to walk for @_karinasywa_ at @asiannyfw this season.
This collection felt so jubilant and bold, yet delicate. Every detail carried a story, and I’m honored to have embodied even a small part of that narrative on the runway.

Thank you for trusting me with your art, your craftsmanship, and your vision. 💛
Here’s to culture, creativity, and FW26 magic.
