AKI GOTO designs from discarded clothes given to her by friends. An old skirt becomes a She-Ra’s cape with a few folds and many stitches. In the meticulously derived imperfections, the avant is born. The gorgeous raw edges of each piece becomes human and her tongue-in-cheek sense of humor infuses the cloth with character as each piece has its own narrative that Aki weaves into the silhouette. By wearing her clothes you become one of her fantasies.
