Denisio Truitt is a dedicated dressmaker and designer whose work is deeply rooted in her Liberian heritage and the cultural legacy of dressmaking in West Africa. Her artistic vision is to exalt the feminine form and provide an intimate, personal clothing experience. Through her craft, Denisio honors the traditions of West African dressmakers who create bespoke garments from vibrant wax prints and African lace. This journey of discovery led her to embrace the title "dressmaker," symbolizing the intimacy, trust, and integrity inherent in her work. Influenced by the legacies of unsung haute couture pioneers like Zelda Wynn Valdes and Ann Lowe, Denisio strives to reconnect people with the creators behind their garments, emphasizing slow fashion and meticulous craftsmanship.
