CAROLINE COONEY
I’m Caroline, a fashion designer based in New York with a deep appreciation for the hands-on process of making clothes. I’m drawn to the moments where an idea becomes something tangible — draping fabric on a form, developing a pattern, tailoring a garment, and figuring out exactly how something is built.
Having lived in Asia for nearly a decade, I grew up surrounded by different cultures, perspectives, and approaches to dress. That experience shaped the way I look at clothing and continues to influence my work.
I’ve always been fascinated by the stories embedded in clothes, and more recently, by vintage and archival garments and the craftsmanship behind them. I love studying the details that make a piece feel distinctive — its construction, materials, proportions, and the hands that brought it to life
