Inspired by the history and craft of makers in the American midwest, Kylee Alexander incorporates traditional methods of making in conjunction with original textile design to create enduring garments with a handmade aesthetic and feminine sensibility. Interested in shifting the paradigm of contemporary womenswear, Kylee challenges the existing conception of luxury by investigating the intersection of sustainability and innovation in reference to fur as a material choice. Through applied techniques, Kylee works with fur as material culture that influences the reconstruction of conventional garments, creating a synthesis between cultural heritage and inspired processes.
