Ruby Hoette

Ruby Hoette is a designer/researcher seeking to expand what constitutes ‘fashion practice’ through critical and experimental approaches. Her work proposes alternate modes of engaging with and producing fashion by framing the garment as a unique artefact carrying traces of social, cultural and economic interactions and transactions.

Ruby holds a BA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (NL) and an MFA from Parsons, The New School (USA). Ruby teaches on MA Design Expanded Practice and is a third-year tutor on BA Design
