Kendra Duplantier is a young American womenswear designer living and working in New York. At eighteen Kendra started her journey at the prestigious Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in fashion design. Kendra's inspiration stems from re-imagining life around her with an artistic approach. Transforming imagination into reality with a modern aesthetic, her works explore the push of ultra-feminine lines and pull of bold shapes. "My design aesthetic is very downtown chic, sophisticated minimalism. It's thoughtful, clean, refined... There's this enduring power in simplicity that gives me life."
