Slow and sustainable fashion.
Handsewn.
Kira Smith is a photographer and designer from Ireland and Luxembourg, currently based in Madrid, Spain. Her work in photography explores the gestures and glances people share within the spaces they fill. She seeks to capture intimate yet fleeting connections between seemingly banal scenes and the people passing through them. Driven by a passion for storytelling, capturing these moments has become an instrument to delve further into her curiosity about her surroundings, allowing for life to unfold without interruption. Photography has provided Kira with an opportunity to observe, understand and relate to people's ways of life, trusting subtlety in favour of intimacy.
Kira's photography has been shown in exhibitions at galleries such as Espacio Mados and Quake Magazine.
Alongside her photographic practice, Red in a Stitch extends this view into fashion. Rooted in attention and patience, Kira's garments reflect an interest in the traces that people and clothes leave behind. Working with second-hand garments and leftover fabrics, she creates reworked and newly constructed pieces. Her work is guided by an interest in the change that clothes carry with them, rather than hiding the imperfections or signs of earlier life they hold. Red in a Stitch reflects a quieter approach to fashion that is sourced from care, patience and transformation.
