TEXTILE SCULPTURES
Textile Sculptures, is a manifesto of her dedication to pushing the boundaries of visual and tactile art. Each piece is a conceptual sculpture that embraces the raw and handmade, revealing the true essence of the fabric through exposed seams, raw edges, and a deliberate emphasis on process. Utilizing techniques such as deconstruction, gathering, and pleating, alongside natural materials like linen and organic cotton, Julietta’s creations stand as unique, unreproducible works that reject mass production. This collection invites wearers to experience fashion as an organic, living form that tells its own story, embracing imperfection and the beauty of the one-of-a-kind.

biomaterial experimentation
Exploring the restorative realms of biomaterials
This process provided me with the opportunity to reconnect with the slow art of creation, allowing me to embrace my experimental side fully.
By taking the time to explore various techniques and materials, I could deepen my understanding of textile manipulation, which significantly enriches my Textile Sculpture collection.
This intentional approach fosters a greater appreciation for craftsmanship, resulting in pieces that reflect both artistic
expression and the beauty of the handmade.
The development of biomaterials in my collection began as a process of pure experimentation. I explored the fusion of crochet and open knitting techniques with various threads, combining them with handmade bioplastics to test texture, form, and durability.
Over time, these tests evolved into bold, sculptural accessoriesstatement necklaces and bracelets that became integral to the collection. Each piece reflects a dialogue between material innovation and artisanal craft, emphasizing the handmade, the imperfect, and the raw as a form of wearable art.

Showcased at
El Paseo Fashion Week 2025
At El Paseo Fashion Week 2025, I integrated biomaterials as sculptural accessories within the collection’s runway presentation. These elements were handcrafted using an experimental blend of gelatin, glycerin, vinegar, and knitting, resulting in a tactile material that echoed the raw and organic essence of my garments.
The biomaterials acted as extensions of the body and the silhouette, positioned as collars, cuffs, or layered details that reinforced the collection’s visual language. Their presence on the catwalk introduced a dialogue between impermanence, texture, and wearability, aligning with my vision of fashion as a living.
