Carol Lee Shanks designs and handcrafts unique and wearable clothing. She has a great reverence for cloth, allowing it to be the foundation of her inspiration. Carol strives to make beautiful, simple, unstructured garments that feel good on the body, function well and are easy to care for. Her layered silhouettes of unencumbered cloth flatter the body and capture the eye with a hint of mysterious delight. The surfaces of these garments are lively due to the piecing and patching that happens while she assembles the small bits into a larger piece of cloth. Ultimately, she creates layered silhouettes of unstructured garment shapes that become moving sculptures once they are on the body.

Devin Crane is a 17-year-old high school senior in Alameda, California. At age 12, she taught herself how to sew during the COVID-19 pandemic. She began to sketch clothing designs and used the old family sewing machine, scrap fabric and reused a LOT of ribbon. This resourcefulness instilled a deep appreciation for sustainability and innovation within fashion. She organized her first fashion show at a local art studio, which encouraged her to design and created a second show with eleven unique outfits – including a prom dress for a friend. She believes by using natural resources and having family support has inspired her to continue to create unique fashions.
