Collection: Spring 21 Featured Artist
"Envelop" is a collection Meredith created to commemorate her late mother and the maternal figures in the viewer's life. The natural fibers and dye were thoughtfully chosen to represent the feeling of a mother's embrace. The curves and varying textures show the different highs and lows of one may experience with the maternal figure(s) in their life.
Meredith Noles is a multidisciplinary creator primarily traversing the fields of fashion and textile design. While working in a custom boot and saddle shop in Texas, she developed a love for handcrafted quality. This experience led Noles to Florence, Italy, to apprentice under local textile designers where she created handpainted fabrics for Italian fashion houses while continuing her studies in Studio Art. Later she obtained her secondary degree in Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design. Noles currently works as a knitwear designer for fashion brands in New York City and continues to create weavings that celebrate natural fibers and artisanal methods. Her designs are firmly rooted in the interplay between the structural and organic as well as modernity and nostalgia.
