Preethi Kosanam

As an award-winning leather designer and artefact artist, I specialize in creating contemporary fashion pieces that blend heritage craftsmanship with forward-thinking design. My work explores the intersection of tradition and innovation, with a strong focus on cultural narratives and sociopolitical themes. With a global academic foundation—an MA in Fashion Artefact from London College of Fashion and a Diploma in Fashion Business from Parsons—I approach design with both conceptual depth and commercial insight. In 2024, I was honored with the Dents Prize for the most creative and commercially viable glove design and named Young Leather Worker of the Year by the Leathersellers’ Foundation. These recognitions reflect my dedication to meaningful design, storytelling through material, and pushing the boundaries of leather as a medium. My Designs are driven by storytelling through fashion. I focus on sociopolitical themes, using real materials to create pieces that question norms, reflect movements, and connect craft with purpose. My work bridges design, activism, and human narratives.
