schooled in the art of design and the business of fashion, backed by a lifetime of travel and the belief that all good things fit easily in a carry-on, Coates has spent the past eight years developing an aesthetic that not only conveys an appreciation of clean, minimal construction but also reflects a much deeper relationship with the craft and culture of this industry.

 

drawn to the intimacy and functionality of custom made clothing, Coates focuses her energies on creating one-of-a kind pieces and limited collections that boycott the everyday pressures, social/environmental effects of mass production and carry the layers of consciousness and quality she seeks in her clothing.
