Imaginative, sustainable clothing and textiles all handmade in Brooklyn, NY. With dreamlike crochet shapes and sunprinted silks, these pieces are created for the curious to love. Each piece is one of kind from the textile, down to the seam finishing. While approaching clothing as wearable sculpture, Amalya's work marries beauty and grit. The polished and exquisitely unrefined mingle through constant exploration in fabric manipulation, silhouette and upcycling. Experimental and distinctive in her design, Amalya practices zero-waste construction, and works predominantly with natural fibers.
In addition to her namesake clothing line, Amalya is co-founder of independent art, design and community space Lagoon New York . Located in Bedstuy, Brooklyn Lagoon is a multipurpose venture where Amalya’s studio and boutique are one in the same. Here her own line, Amalya Meira, is both produced & available for sale alongside like minded creations. Lagoon has a focus on environmental consciousness and community engagement.
Most recently Amalya has delved into housewares, creating a series a of crochet recycled sari silk chair covers in collaboration with Raini Home. Additionally she was featured by Fabscrap New York as their 2022 Spring Designer, has shown at NYFW, Paris Fashion Week, Miami Art Basel and has work currently for sale in like minded shops around New York City. Amalya holds degrees from Central St. Martins, Parsons and Eugene Lang.
