This Is Sloane is an avant garde line of handmade, couture pieces created by 20 year old Texan Sloane Lenz. Incorporating elements from her favorite bands and music, pop culture references, and everything that floats through her subconscious, Sloane makes garments uniquely their own, and one of a kind. Expressing an unedited message of cosmic sorts, This Is Sloane is for the person who’s truly them self, and not afraid to scream it.
Sloane Lenz is a 20 year old avant-garde fashion designer living in Austin, TX. Growing up mostly in the rural town of Athens, Texas, she began creating unusual pieces for herself to wear, made from materials she could source at her local hardware store and grocery store. She creates striking garments utilizing mostly unconventional materials, with a preference for plastic and canvas. She’s been sewing since just 8 years old and also is Co-Creator of a blog called ALLUMER, which focuses on music, style, and culture. Sloane also creates films and hand embroiders pillows which her brother designs the custom graphic patterns for. She showed her debut collection at Austin Fashion Week in April 2015 (at just 19 years old), then her second collection at Dallas Fashion Week the following September. Drawing most of her inspiration from music, she incorporates elements she picks up into her collections. Her runway is comprised of wearable art, avant garde clothing pieces, and she creates custom garments for musicians’ stage wear, as well as made to order pieces. Having been named “a modern Betsy Johnson”, and having her work compared to that of Alexander McQueen, she’s continuing to create pieces as the inspiration comes.
