KetiVani Display at Denver Art Museum
I am inherently a perfectionist, meticulously cutting and sewing each of my designs to achieve absolute precision. At times, finding individuals capable of executing to the same standard proves challenging, leading to moments where I am unable to proceed with production.
I have always regarded my creations as 'Museum Pieces,' striving for a level of craftsmanship that transcends mere fashion. My dedication to perfection was rewarded when a KetiVani suit was selected to be showcased at the Denver Art Museum as part of the 'Suited Empowerment Exhibit.' It was a profound honor to see my work displayed alongside renowned designer brands.
I curated three walls in the Thread Studio of the Martin Building, offering insights into the design and production process of upscale suits. One of my couture suit designs, crafted from silk jacquard, stood proudly on a mannequin, while a dedicated TV channel showcased my draping and tailoring techniques (now available on YouTube). The exhibition captivated audiences for seven months, drawing remarkable interest and attendance until April 2022."
