New Spring Skirts!







Spring is almost here and we are gearing up with new exciting designs! Here are three skirts currently in production and we expect them available in the shop within the next couple weeks.
As mentioned in our newest blog, we will only be producing a few of each design. These skirts are no exception. They are already in production and we didn't offer the opportunity for pre-ordering this custom piece. However, if you call soon to place a pre-order, we WILL reserve one of these beauties in your size.
(All three designs sell for $118)

Kate Troyer Designs

Garnish is proud to present select items from Portland designer (and Garnish Manager), Kate Troyer as our "Guest Artist". With a BA in Art Histroy and Sculpture and an Masters of Fine arts in Textile Design, Kate has been an active exhibiting fiber artist for years and is now expanding her creative persuits into designing womens fashion. With an interest in the handmade component, Kate uses elements of detailed structural manipulation and hand drawn patterns to create many of her peices. Current designs are inspired by a mix of manmade and natural textures, architectural forms, and notions of repetition. Ideas of patterns and repetition will continue to be central to her work suggesting notions of cycles, networks, and rythym. Expect to see more of Troyer's unique, modern, and sophisticated designs in Portland as her line continues to grow and evolve.

Ann Kyyro Quinn




In addition to fashion, textiles are used in many other design disciplines including architecture, interior design, and fine art. We have laundry list of artists and designers who we love including interior textile artist, Ann Kyro Quinn. Ann uses felt as a medium to create large scale interior sculptures with a focus on rich textures. Her work is saturated with bold colors and shapes creating an engaging visual and tactile experience. Beautiful!
