SHOSH‘s goal for designing clothes is to provide scaffolding for our bodies in order to express the things we don’t in words.
Because clothing helps you embody ideas about yourself that you can’t, won’t, or don’t express through language, articulating your portrait with clothes becomes an act of creating an “I.”
So our little business grew out of my firm commitment to the notion that clothing is recruited to make a self. It’s a psychological journey for me as well as an artistic one.

Each Garment is made from a small team of dedicated sewers who work in New York City and live in it’s surrounding boroughs.
We also work closely with a family owned business in the garment center where our collections are manufactured.

Many of our fabrics are up-cylced, recycled, we have used fabric made from the yarn of re – fabricated plastic bottles and often we use organic cotton, tencel and bamboo and of course the most “sustainable” fabric of all, wool. Our values dictate that we join the community of the concerned to reduce waste by employing existing surplus luxury fabric.
This isn’t easy for a small business. As a designer I often wrestle with my conscience to find ethical justifications not to engage in the fight against our climate, knowing that rivers are being polluted by toxic dyes, or that americans alone produce more than 15 million tons of textile waste per year, 85 percent of which ends up in landfills.
Contributing to the vigor of the earth’s fertility in a small way is like being a gardener, amending the soil and yielding healthy, nutritious crops, in this case, clothing with rich texture, and wearable chic tailoring made from ethical choices.
