Kristin Mariani

Biography

River North — Kristin Mariani is a Chicago based dressmaker, designer and artist. In 2000 she founded RedShift, a line of one-of-a-kind clothing created from salvaged materials and found garments. She is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received numerous awards for her innovative designs and has years of professional experience as a clothing and textile designer in Milan and New York.



Her design practice has been described in New City as work “that elevates the unique and the unrepeatable, and openly acknowledges a connection to the material world of production and consumption.” As an independent designer she collaborates with artists from other disciplines, creating garments for dance, performance, and installation. Red Shift is available at June Blaker, Chicago.
