About AVA GRAND

After winning the title Designer of the Year, my TikTok showcased my concept of creating clothing from Shein bags. The world was eager to see more. Nearly 19 million people viewed that video, and almost all asked, "How can I purchase this?"

 

My designs were featured in the Wall Street Journal, BuzzFeed, YKK, and many other publications. Soon after, the runway collection appeared on the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival. Mind blown by the attention my designs received, I was then invited back to WSJ to be on their podcast, "The Journal." The future of my designs is no longer limited to just repurposing plastic. My creativity shines with any materials I can get my hands on.

With much love and designing ahead,
