In person / Exhibition / Technique
The love of beautifully hand-crafted textiles is the thread that connects Hatsumi Yoshida and Mary Jaeger, two independent designers who work across international borders. Having exhibited together in Kyoto (2024), they'll reunite this year in Brooklyn for NYTM X. Their collections focus on layering materials, dyeing techniques, hand-stitching and unexpected embellishments. They create innovative wearable and interior works that embody sustainability and eco-consciousness as they navigate the cross-cultural tensions of small-scale artisanal production and global trade. Their unconventional textiles are collected by those who wish to wear and surround themselves - at home, at work, at play - with the extraordinary beauty and energy of the hand-made.
Explore and collect their work at Mary's atelier in Williamsburg from
