Shaina Mote

25-year-old Shaina Mote was born and raised in Los Angeles, now also the home of her collection of sleek, transformable, long lasting staples. Pieces that present multiple options, and can be worn in myriad ways, are meant for perpetual reinvention, providing an antidote to fast fashion and encouraging less waste on the whole. Her design aesthetic has been informed by fusing technical aspects from pattern making with an experimental approach to draping and a production process infused with consciousness; she calls on natural fabrics and works with many local and family-run businesses.

Why we Covet: An impeccable aesthetic—and young drive to admire, too.
