dear pony
/Rounding out our participants in the New Craft Coalition Spring Show + Sale are two women's clothing lines.
Tracy Fillion of Dear Pony is inspired by the subtleties found in nature, salvaged objects and contemporary themes such as ethical commerce and ecological materials. She experiments with textural contrasts in surface design, natural dyeing, quilting and screen-printing to create her artistic collections.
Hadija Gabunga of Hipband makes lifestyle clothing and accessories.
She writes,
"I easily fall in love with the process of creating. I find inspiration in everyday life and work to peel away at the layers. The fashion industry is ever changing and I take comfort in my willingness to be open to change."
