Meron Kebede
Meron decided to study fashion after visiting
Ethiopia and observing how natural fibres are
traditionally woven into fabric, and the artistry
that it took to create a luxurious material. Inspired
by craftsmanship, the origins of textiles, and
understanding silhouettes, Meron creates unique
designs and pushes herself further each time a
project is given. Meron will continue her growth as
a designer once she finishes her fashion studies.
Aeterna is a collection Inspired by the culture and
the traditionally hand-woven fabric from Ethiopia.
Exquisite textiles are showcased in this collection.
Fabric manipulation of gathered holes and gathered
accents helps capture the lustre of these fibres.
Technology is incorporated into the collection
through 3D printing a redesigned Ethiopian cross
to illustrate their culture.
