Luxury as labour: co-creating with cloth in the fashion studio

Formerly a designer at Chanel, my research explores fabric-led pedagogy, ethical studio practice, and the systemic conditions that shape creative labour. This work investigates how slowness, co-authorship, and material engagement can redefine luxury and reorient fashion education. Luxury is reframed not as an aesthetic outcome, but as a situated mode of co-creation between fabric, maker, and method.

Abstract

Formerly a designer at Chanel, my research explores fabric-led pedagogy, ethical studio practice, and the systemic conditions that shape creative labour. This work investigates how slowness, co-authorship, and material engagement can redefine luxury and reorient fashion education. Luxury is reframed not as an aesthetic outcome, but as a situated mode of co-creation between fabric, maker, and method.
