ARTIST STATEMENT

Rémy’s mission is to produce one-of-a-kind designs with a custom fit that guarantee her clients one hundred percent satisfaction.

Rémy Pessah, a former process engineer, had worked in the semiconductor industry for many years. With the slow down in the industry, Rémy decided to shift careers and pursued her childhood dreams of fashion design. Her shift proved successful. Rémy has been accepted in many juried shows and is a member of the American Craft Council. Her Artwear is currently on display in a select number of haute-couture boutiques in Carmel, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Palo Alto and San Francisco.

Rémy wearable artwork combines the highest quality hand dyed silk with designs that reflect her engineering background where geometry and precision prevail.
