Athens-based textile designer and artist Valia Kapeletzi transforms textiles into sculptural works that merge nature and materiality. A London College of Fashion graduate, she refined her craft at Iris van Herpen’s atelier in Amsterdam where she delved into couture hand-sewing and innovative textile development. This pivotal experience inspired her to transition from fashion to her independent artistic vision, ultimately leading to the establishment of her own studio in Athens. Inspired by organic forms and textures, Valia experiments with everyday materials, deconstructing and reimagining them using unconventional techniques. Her work explores transparency, light, and texture, creating intricate compositions that blur the boundaries between textile art, interior design, and sculpture. Valia’s creations celebrate the interplay of nature and innovation, offering a fresh perspective on textiles as a medium for artistic expression.
