Lisa Konno

Lisa Konno is an artist and designer based in Amsterdam. In 2015 she started her practice by making collections from textile waste that made statements about the unethical habits of the fashion industry. In 2018 she won a Dutch Design Award. Since the work on the short film NOBU - a stylized portrait of her Japanese father - filmmaking became a place for her to express narratives through fashion, and fashion became a tool for portraying deeply personal stories that speak to universal themes. 

Lisa Konno's work travels freely into different realms, from documentary, fashion, ceramics, to performance and more. These multidisciplinary works are always connected through a deep love for clothes and textiles, making human beings the central aspect within her work. Reoccurring themes in her work are cultural identity, sustainability and activism.
