Carlotta Kelber selected as finalist for the Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Prize
September 13, 2023The Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Prize is an award given to a textile or fashion design student who demonstrates innovative thinking and inspiring creativity in textiles.
The open call received over 350 entries from all over the world. AMFI student Carlotta Kelber is one of the twenty finalists selected. She says about her collection ‘Linen Reverie’:
“This collection focuses on the different phases I went through within the project. A dowry for a new generation—a meaningful legacy that reflects on the world and problems we face and gives perspective on how to overcome those. On the way I discovered countless ways to use linen as a local monomaterial and hope to reestablish its appreciation.”
The winner of the Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Prize will be announced during the Virtual Talking Textiles Conference on Sunday 1 October at 19.45. Read more about the prize here.
