Ava is a 26 year old, born and raised in California. By challenging the mundane, AVA sets out to reimagine design through individualism and artistry.

Ava's background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). With over seven years of industry experience - spanning roles such as Technical Designer, Apparel Designer, and Footwear Designer - Ava is reintroducing herself as AVA, by Ava.

AVA fuses masculine silhouettes with extremely feminine detailing and textile, representing all the various and multi-faceted sides to the modern woman. We are not bound by gender traditionalism anymore. AVA explores the delicacy of conventional feminism with extremely masculine characteristics, and everything that falls in-between.

Every piece is locally sourced and ethically produced in a small, family-run factory in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Ava personally drafts each pattern and hand-sews initial samples, while also creating one-of-a-kind artisanal garments by hand.

“For all the Versions of Ava, and the garments that have molded me. They have been the most powerful tool in my life. This label is for individuals that resonate with that." - Ava Dorfman
