ABOUT
Liza Rietz began designing and sewing custom and retail garments in 2001. Captivated by shape, texture and volume, her designs are continually inspired by the sculptural elements of Japanese design, the elegance and exaggerated shapes of the 1920's, and the interplay between body and garment. After nearly 15 years of designing and running a boutique, Liza gravitated towards teaching as a means to reconnect with the artistic and experimental side of fashion while engaging with individuals in her community. She has taught Innovative Design classes and workshops at the Oregon College of Art and Craft and Nike, participated as a mentor for the Applied Craft and Design program, and currently teaches at Portland Fashion Institute and Pacific Northwest College of Art. All her garments are handcrafted in Portland, Oregon and available exclusively at her design collective called “The Ones Shop”.
