Aspiring Apparel Designer
ABOUT 
My name is Zoe Kalem. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University, majoring in Apparel Design and Merchandising with a concentration in Design. I am continuing my education at the Fashion Institute of Technology in CLO 3D Garment Visualization. I excel in CADs, moodboards, tech packs, and garment construction. I would describe my design aesthetic as feminine, avant garde, organic, and full of texture. I’m looking forward to expanding my skill set and gaining industry experience.

Entry #3
“Solandis” is a Spring/Summer 2023 collection by ADM student, Zoe Kalem. Its inspiration comes from the Divine Feminine energy and its manifestations. The collection represents delicacy, growth, and intuition. The “Lily Pad Dress” is made of nylon lace hand-dyed by the designer and silk charmeuse. This garment represents the divine power that connects us to Earth.
