Don't miss this opportunity to meet Brooklyn-based designer Parron Edwards-Stimola, whose design vision is inspired by his childhood in Lexington, Mississippi. Parron's grandmother, Momma Ruth, expressed her love by sewing dresses for the women in her family. Momma Ruth made dresses as so many Black women did—with whatever materials were available—creating beauty from remnants long before sustainability and up-cycling began their march toward the mainstream.
Parron’s designs echo this joyous harmony of whimsy and practicality in a voice for the present moment, reclaiming sustainability as a part of his cultural heritage and designing inventive collections that incorporate fabric remnants, discarded textiles, and thrifted garments. Prior to founding his brand in 2021, Parron studied design in the US and UK and honed his skills at Vera Wang, Ellen Tracy, and Rebecca Taylor.
