David Weksler

Textile, Fashion & Jewerly Design

“My process starts with the material. I sort through donated clothes and there the design work begins. I have no control over the color, quantity, shape, or quality of the materials I will work with. The transience and coincidence of this manner of working are a guiding principle for me".

David Weksler holds a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design from Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art, and a master’s degree in fashion design with a specialization in textiles from Central Saint Martins. His work emphasizes the development of sustainable crafts and design that externalize the fact that the garment is recycled. The basis for his design and creation is sustainability, which he considers to be a necessity in today’s world.

Weksler was nominated for the 2022 Edmond de Rothschild Design Award for Emerging Fashion, Textile, and Jewelry Designers.
