Pangea Kali Virga

At PANGEA KALI VIRGA we are dedicated to helping transform the fashion industry to be a more sustainable and equitable one. Our pieces are one-of-a-kind wearable art created with attention to detail, quality, and rigorous environmental standards.

PANGEA KALI VIRGA focuses on entirely one-off season-free pieces and experimental conceptual design using couture finishings. We do so by creating unique hand-made textiles and accessories of upcycled vegan materials, practicing zero waste in-studio, fair labor standards, community engagement, and donating a portion of proceeds to worthy charities.

Pangea is interested in exploring the relationship between skin and fabric, the individual and nature, and the ego and society, with a specific regard to the liminal tension between the inner self and the body's presentation. She has primarily done this by creating wearable sculptures and garments; she believes in the power of clothing as storyteller and cultural marker, an artform whose elastic boundaries stretch from the highest vanities of our public lives to our quietest intimacies. Pangea has found great comfort and liberation through clothing and fashion, and the work she creates is made in hopes of extending those experiences to the viewer and wearer.

Since graduating from FIT in 2012, Pangea has participated in ten runways as designer, curator, or collaborator, stretching the format’s territory to include performance art, sculpture, and corresponding musical compositions. In the past, she has designed and executed site -specific designs for performance artists, musicians, and dancers alike. pangea kali virga is currently a professional artist making collections once a year.
