Meet the 2026 Interwoven Designers

On August 26, a group of Arizona designers, vintage dealers and upcyclers will gather at DLR Group in Phoenix for Interwoven — a sustainable fashion event created to showcase the people choosing craft over convenience and quality over quantity. The makers and designers approach sustainability creatively from different corners. Some source and curate vintage pieces that already exist, extending the life of clothing that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Others take what has been discarded and redesign it entirely, finding possibility in what most people overlook. Others are building original design practices around sustainable materials, natural dyes and slow production. What they share is a belief that fashion doesn’t have to work against the planet, but with it.

Read on to discover the 2026 designers.

Heather Nash | NV Collective

Vintage Dealer — Mesa, AZ 

Founded by Heather Nash, NV Collective is an online vintage emporium that blends curated clothing, home décor, handmade goods, jewelry and crystals. Seven local vintage vendors sell alongside Nash’s own carefully sourced inventory. Nash describes the store as “if Etsy were a store” — selling vintage for the modern day.

Nash Vintage Collective is about taking vintage out of the past and making it part of how we dress and live now—mixing old and new, different eras, and pieces that were never necessarily meant to go together.

“I’ve been buying, selling, collecting and styling vintage for over 20 years, and I still love the hunt. . . I believe personal style should feel collected, a little unexpected, and completely your own,” Nash says.

Jenny Kuller | Redhead Sadie Vintage

Vintage Dealer — Phoenix, AZ

Jenny Kuller has been buying, selling and trading true vintage and jewelry for over 20 years since 1994. Redhead Sadie Vintage specializes in highly curated vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories for both men and women, sourced and sold from Phoenix, Arizona.

“I love being the caretaker and conduit for these pieces of the past, and believe vintage is the original and best sustainable resource!” says Kuller.

Addison Bowlby | Flare Vintage

Vintage Dealer & Upcycle Designer

Flare Vintage deals in curated secondhand finds and upcycle design, run by Addison Bowlby. Flare Vintage rides on the want for great quality unique clothing while preserving our past and creating a better future. 

“We strive to create unique pieces for the everyday person and inspire others to think sustainably!” says Bowlby.

Megan Wilson | Maison Archives 

Vintage Dealer & Upcycle Designer

Megan Wilson of Maison Archives approaches vintage dealing and upcycle design as an act of preservation. “Sustainability, for me, is not simply about using less — it’s about seeing possibility in what has been overlooked and transforming the past into something with a future,” Wilson said.

Maison Archives’ mission is to discover forgotten textiles and revive and reimagine them into one-of-a-kind styles with intention. 

Aaron Blackburn 

Sustainable Designer — Mesa, AZ

Aaron Blackburn is a Mesa-based sustainable designer and photographer whose work explores sustainable creativity. He is the author of Creating Cash From Trash, a guide to building an art and design practice around repurposed materials. “Some of my favorite pieces and photographs started with something most people would have overlooked or thrown away,” Blackburn said.

Saylor Quin

Sustainable Designer & Artist — Arizona

Born and raised in Arizona, Saylor Quin is a multidisciplinary artist working across fashion design, fine art, digital art, photography and dance. Her work merges couture tailoring, metal and jewelry fabrication, translucent leather work and sustainable natural dyeing techniques. Her thesis capstone collection explored the full spectrum of human experience as a source of creative depth.

Amanda Jacobs | Classic Reclaim

Upcycle Designer & Sustainable Fashion — Anthem, AZ

Amanda Jacobs founded Classic Reclaim in Anthem, Arizona, around the conviction that the best materials are often already in circulation. Classic Reclaim transforms thrift store finds into one-of-a-kind garments and accessories, hand-altered and redesigned. “I love to create one-of-a-kind garments from items that are so often overlooked,” Jacobs said. “Long live the thrift.”

“Twee” Reovan | TransformbyTwee

Sustainable Designer — Arizona

Twila “Twee” Reovan developed her expertise in sustainable apparel through roles at FABRIC Incubator — Arizona’s nonprofit apparel manufacturing hub — and Revivall Clothing, where she progressed from seamstress to manager of operations.

TransformbyTwee is a small-batch, slow fashion, handmade clothing brand. Each collection is a modern twist on some of our favorite fashion eras: the 70s, 90s, and 2000s. All of the brand’s garments are made from a variety of sustainable practices such as using deadstock fabric and upcycled materials.

“My brand symbolizes the changes we go through in life that make us who we are. I encourage everyone to recognize the beauty in every era of life while appreciating the past and accepting change for the future,” Reovan says.

Joanne Miles-Long | RRR.Raid

Sustainable Designer — Arizona

Joanne Miles-Long is a Native American fashion designer based in Arizona whose work has been featured at Indigenous fashion events including shows sponsored by the Phoenix Indian Center.

Melissa Davis | Meloo Vintage

Vintage Dealer

Meloo Vintage is run by Melissa Davis, who describes herself as a “vintage vixen, traveling diva, animal rescuer, cocktail queen.” Davis has been curating vintage items since 1995 and runs the highly popular Meloo Insta Sale Instagram, a resource for shopping all things vintage.

The evening also brings together a panel of Arizona industry leaders across design, architecture and construction: Diana Gonzalez, Senior Structural Engineer at DLR Group; Andy Fillion, Project Director at McCarthy Building Companies; Anita Lang, Founder and Creative Principal of IMI Design; Lorenzo Perez, Co-founder and designer at Venue Projects; and Jared Reynolds, President of PFS-Professional Finishing Systems.
