“A passionate fashion and textile designer engaging in impactful print and pattern concepts. Her influences derive from modern trends and sociocultural themes through the use of dynamic compositions of color, symbolic patterns and storytelling.”
Otherness has always been a part of my designing career. My studies in Canada inspired me to design based on self-realization and the deeper hidden Black Canadian narratives that are excluded from normative systems. My process involves abstracted symbolic expression along with quilting which is traditionally both a Canadian and African craft.Khalalelo has been working as a Fashion Designer in Montreal while freelancing her print designs to the contemporary fashion and interior market in Canada, Australia and US.
