Lamella

North Carolina-born Morgan Cardwell received her BFA from North Carolina State University before pursuing an MFA in Fashion Design from FIT. Her biophilic designs convey a symbiosis between human existence and the natural world, influencing patterns and textures. Her signatures include fluid contours and detailed craft created through a combination of traditional techniques and new technology. Her work centers around the vast range of human emotions, states of interconnectedness and the intensity of lived experiences.

Born to a family of landscape architects and textile engineers, her family created the foundation for her deep-rooted connection with the outdoors, as well as her love of soft construction. She spent her childhood exploring and building a relationship with the natural world that has remained deeply ingrained in her life to this day - despite her current urban setting. It is through this awareness of the interconnection that her fashion+textile journey arose.
