Designer Shabd Simon-Alexander creates limited edition collections based on simple feminine shapes with attention to fabric combinations and compositions. Her approach to working with fabrics draws from minimalist art, quiltmaking, and the folk costume tradition of beginning one dress with the remnants from the last.

She began doing her own hand dying to create fabrics that could interact playfully with the rigidity of manufactured prints. She now offers a limited edition line of hand dyed accent pieces, inspired by Hubble telescope photos of worlds being born and stars dying. They bring design, chance and chaos into a perfect balance.

Her namesake line has recently developed into a blank canvas to explore dyeing and painting techniques, and pieces are unique in color and design. The craftsmanship of the pieces is readily apparent. Quality natural fibers are used, luxurious silks, organic cottons, and pieces are finished with the upmost attention to detail.
