Denise Bayron designs modern garments that are practical, minimal, and most often geometric. After 15 years of working as an executive in the fast fashion industry in NYC, she transitioned to patternmaking as a means of reconciling her love of fashion with a desire to live more sustainably. Making a wardrobe by hand enables one to source materials more sustainably and control the waste that is produced in the process. By designing patterns, Denise hopes to empower the home knitter and sewist with the tools, knowledge, and autonomy to create the handmade wardrobe of their dreams. She hopes that makers will use her patterns as the basic infrastructure for a garment, but then customize the fiber selection, fit, and color. In the end, each garment is a collaboration between designer and maker, and therefore a piece of handmade art.
As an Afro Latina, Denise also strives to make the slow fashion industry a more inclusive space through representation and education. She travels to do public speaking engagements and to teach classes with partners such as Vogue Knitting and Soul Craft Festival.
