- Artist's Statement
- Natalia Robles Oteíza is a Chilean fashion designer who focuses on sustainability, technology, and storytelling through design. Natalia has worked across various areas of fashion and textile design, ranging from hypoallergenic children’s wear to highly technical uniforms for female automotive technicians. In her personal work as a designer, she is focused on combining zero- waste patternmaking techniques with 3D modeling and printing technology.
- About This Collection:
- "Tessellated Resistance" was inspired by Chile’s long tradition of social resistance through art and craft. As a way to visually represent the unity and combined strength of ordinary people acting together, the collection uses geometric tessellations to create zero-waste garments. These tessellations are found everywhere in nature, from the micro level of our skin cells to the macro level of land-erosion patterns. They are a testament to our intrinsic connection to our environment and to each other.
