Amparo3 Sewing

iliana quander is an independent designer, artist and educator with a focus on designing and producing one-of-a-kind, short run and custom clothing for women. together with the sohung designs collective, she co-operated a clothing boutique in the east village, nyc for 5 years. since 2008, she has also done on-site tailoring for the fashion and entertainment industry serving both commercial and high-end markets to notable clients and companies. she is an educator with experience teaching all ages from children to adults. subjects taught include high school spanish, art, fashion design, sustainability in design, zero waste techniques for designers and clothing reconstruction.

I love to watch students of all ages grow and become confident in their skills. I enjoy helping them to understand how accessible and easy it is to create pieces and also to provide them with techniques to address the challenges.
