About
Sana Aloui is a Chinese-Tunisian-American fashion designer based in Los Angeles, California. She received a BFA in Fashion and Textiles from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
Aloui creates textiles and garments that explore multiculturalism and liminal identity. She collages image and fiber as a means of making cultural connections and examining society’s perception of identity and individuality. Her practice is based around the creation of textile and fabric through dyeing, weaving, knitting, and construction techniques.
The study of traditional textile processes, clothing styles, and various ethnic groups have influenced her work greatly. She is fascinated by all things imperfect, asymmetrical, and weathered. Aloui's work explores her own identity as an international traveler and nomad, and seeks to understand notions of cultural identity in the United States.
