Julia Meeks Bio

Posted: | Posted by Owen Geronimo | Labels: 0 comments

I consider myself both a fashion designer and a social entrepreneur. I received my degree in Apparel Design from San Francisco State University and was blessed to have the topic of sustainability and innovation woven into our coursework. That combined with my studies in Milan for a year abroad shaped my identity as a designer to be all about full circle thinking and quality. I always systemically approach design so production, wearability, marketability and a life-cycle analysis are built into my product during its conceptualization.

I believe that true innovation starts with good design, and that in order to be environmentally and socially responsible we must re-interpret the supply chain starting with design. I have designed and produced 2 collections on my own, co-designed and created start-up company “Eclissi” as well as co-designed for the fair trade organization AltroMercato in Milan, participated in fashion shows and showcases including the San Francisco Fashion Awards, and am currently team designing a collection for Made In Oakland.

My design aesthetic plays upon opposing ideas, always searching for balance and subtle a-symmetry that moves the eye in a slightly off tune familiarity. I am passionate about what I do and I hope to promote positive social change through my art.
