- Artist's Statement
- Valeria Watson is a multidisciplinary artist and fashion designer based in New York City. She designs and constructs expressive, colorful, and playful garments that celebrate the bodies that carry them. Inspired by her Mexican-American heritage, her concepts are rooted in personal memories and are imbued with the traditional craft of Mexico. Collaged silhouettes, bold volumes, upcycled materials, and graphical prints are key characteristics that define her work and create collections that invite all to join in the celebration.

About this Collection:
Mexico and the United States have a long history of population migration over a shared border leading to a rich cross-cultural blend of cultures. This collection, “Sabor a mí, Sabor a tí,” explores my own multicultural heritage as half-American and half-Mexican. Through hand weaving and digital prints plucked from childhood photographs, I used this collection to tell my family’s migration history between the two countries and to record the stories that have been passed down through generations. - Rights
