Guest Speaker Bio
Name: Chie Duncan
Organization: Vivat Veritas
Duncan enjoys working in any and all fabrics but has found recently that reusing traditional kimono fabric has gained traction among a new and growing clientele.
She generally prefers to work with feminine contours incorporating the old world into the new, and fabrics and styles that span multiple dimensions. Her works run from casual to formal, nightwear to weddings. Her unique style has developed over the years to draw from both her Japanese upbringing and her time and experiences living internationally.
