Alexia Abegg for RSS

Alexia comes from a very artistic background, and fabric design seems the perfect outlet for her – a tidy mash-up of her interests in sewing and illustration. But when she talks about her love of the craft and the community surrounding it, there’s a deeper level of appreciation that shines through: “I love that it is really, truly collaborative in almost every sense of that word. Not just with the other designers, but with the people that are buying my fabric... We’re creating the raw material. It is a product, but then it’s ready to take on a new life with whoever uses it.”

Her advice to Creatives - “Let go. Letting go opens the door to a higher level of creativity, especially when it comes to sewing. Because it’s an exacting craft, you can get caught up in that. Embrace imperfection, and know that if you enjoy the process, that’s valuable on its own.”
