It has been a month now since my graduation - final step in my decades and countries/spanning undergrad journey. But having gone through all of this I would not have it any other way! My major TDM @fittextiledevelopmentmktg at FIT was meant to bring it all home for me. Proud to call myself textile nerd 🤓🪡
Two years at @aatcc.fitnyc board got me a cord and medal was awarded by @fit_prezscholars - had an honor of being accepted to this program last two years of my studies as well. 🧑‍🎓🌟
Majestic film photography to capture the morning of graduation galloping through campus in just 2 hours was a courtesy of @jdr____llc 💕
There were many many people who helped me on my journey, and as much as it is a solitary project it is also a big collective effort! And to these individuals I am so very grateful: my family, partners, friends, professors, classmates, industry acquaintances - really takes a village. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So what’s next? Of course more employment in the industry is the most immediate goal but also low key looking for my next academic adventure. After I recover from this one 🫠 taken in Fashion Institute of Technology by @mayitextile

Went to Sergei Parajanov museum in Yerevan back in January. Remarkable figure of Armenian- Ukrainian pop art and surrealism. Not only was he one of the greatest and most influential film directors of his time but also a phenomenal visual artist, making art of anything and everything that he could find around. His 3D visual art - collages for his unrealized movies, was especially plentitudinous when he was banned from directing for 15 years and imprisoned for under sodomy law for 3 under Soviet regime.
Here is my selection of his works that specifically highlights the use of textiles. taken in Sergey Parajanov museum Սերգեյ Փարաջանովի թանգարան by @mayitextile

The best fashion related book I read this summer. Don’t scroll if you don’t want to see a conclusion, but fair warning, even if you do, the read still will be very informative and above all enjoyable. #themostbeautifuljobintheworld #fashionindustry #jiuliamensitieri by @mayitextile

In awe of craft and artistry.
Recently got my hands on stunning silky kimono that was in need of repair. When I looked inside it turned out the whole garment was sewn by hand 🙌🏻🧵🪡🤍 It took me about two hours to stitch it back together. In love 🥰

Seduced by textures.

~”Here we’ll strip and cool our fire
In cream below, in milk-baths higher:
And when all wells are drown dry,
I’ll drink a tear out of thine eye.”
