Marie Potesta


Marie Potesta, studied at the Academy of Arts University as one of the Fashion and Knitwear Design graduates.  She  premiered her senior collection at the Academy' s February 2008 Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Show, landing in the pages of Women’s Wear Daily, California Apparel News and on WNBC TV Today in New York. With her  Autumn/Winter collection she utilized the ideas of Japanese art forms origami and noshi (a good luck token made of folded strips of paper) by manipulating her woven fabrics. She reworking known techniques with an experimental bent, the Dearborn, Michigan native also incorporated Op Art, making it more dramatic with the use of black and white.
