In dreamlike crochet and sunprinted silks, Amalya creates wearable and non wearable works examining time, materiality and intention. Often employing inherently ephemeral and sight specific techniques to realize familiar shapes, these out of time relics guide one to consider the intrinsic potential of well loved silhouettes, and how they may be reanimated. Celebrating the maker, Amalya’s hand is consciously ever present. Utilizing a vocabulary of transparent construction and zero waste patterning throughout, Amalya’s eponymous clothing line Amalya Meira favors the highly textured & is composed solely of repurposed or deadstock materials. 

 Ever fascinated by the concept of contributing to the urban conversation, Amalya’s creative practice has most recently manifested in the form of a physical storefront, Lagoon. Located in Brooklyn, NY, here live creation simultaneously communicates the production cycle of a garment, while naturally fostering a like minded dialogue welcoming the curious. Part studio, part independent design boutique visitors are invited to explore their personal styles, place a custom order and inquire about the unique story behind each object.

Amalya Meira currently has original works available for sale at a number of boutiques internationally. This past summer a she presented sculptural works as part of Woven Riot’s innaugural show, Tempest Gallery’s DAISIES & 334 Broome Gallery’s HOSONO ISLAND. Recently she debuted collaborative film Moss World, presented  Tidepool, a new collection in Reworked Runway interactive showcase, and created custom crochet works for the A24 film Materialists. Amalya has shown works as Fabscrap New York Featured Designer, at NYFW, Paris Fashion Week, Miami Art Basel. Amalya holds degrees from Central St. Martins, Parsons and Eugene Lang.
