Inspired by the style lines of mountain sportswear and modern dance attire, she was surrounded with as a child, Zoe’s designs incorporate explorable functionality which allows the wearer to customize the garment to their styling needs or personal fit preferences. The traversability of the garment is usually manifested through draw string channels and rearranged closures where fabric can be gathered, pulled, or released. Invested in the ideas of deep ecology and natural entanglement, Zoe’s approach to design values the use of natural fibers and materials to create garments that cause the user to pay more attention to the essential systems of clothing. By exploring a garment’s essential systems and how they can function to serve the wearer best, a dialogue of intimacy is formed between wearer and garment that will create more value within that object.
