Sofia Salazar focuses her embroideries on faces. The UK-based textile designer incorporates minimalist, large-scale portraits onto clothing, reminiscent in drawing style to Matisse.
Though these hand-crafted stitches could easily serve as wall hangings, Sofia tells La Femme Collective that it’s important her creations are functional:
I need my work to be useful somehow; I like it better that way. That’s one of the reasons I went into fashion. I love it if my work can be worn, can be interacted with. I want my work to be involved in others people’s lives. I would love to have made someone’s favorite sweater.
