Laila Meher-Homji

Laila Meher-Homji is a designer who focuses on textiles and the manipulation of fabric against the body. She heavily incorporates sustainability in her work by consciously considering the methods and fabrics used within her practice. Often using deadstock and pre-loved materials to build garments, her work consists of experimental and conceptual pieces that tell a story.

Meher-Homji uses a variety of materials, allowing her to create garments with a wide range of textures and visual outcomes. Her styling helps bring concepts to a clear and resolved end result. Her use of print allows her to experiment with different mediums and methods. Her strengths lie in fabric manipulation, draping, and textile design. Using these strengths alongside strong conceptual ideas, she is able to create fully developed garments.
