About Kamila, the Visionary Behind DISTRESSED

Kamila’s journey in fashion began at the age 13, inspired by her grandmother’s masterful sewing skills in Poland. Throughout High School, Kamila immersed herself in sewing classes and participated in fashion shows. Parsons School of Design in New York became the next chapter, where she meticulously developed her expertise as a knitwear designer, artist, and technical specialist. With over 20 years of industry experience under her belt, Kamila, a seasoned professional, is now ready to share her unique vision with the world.

And thus DISTRESSED was born – a word used in fashion to describe frayed or unraveling edge.

Our Design Dialogue

Beyond the Threads

Our design process is a continuous conversation, a journey where we translate ideas into wearable stories. We begin by sparking a dialogue, searching for a narrative we yearn to share with the world. This inspiration can come from anywhere – a captivating color palette, the luxurious texture of a yarn, or a captivating pattern. When a specific theme doesn’t immediately emerge, we delve deeper. We ask ourselves, “Try to understand the attraction and build your ideas. An idea can be very powerful, if you care enough for it, it can grow and become its own identity.”

By exploring these elements, we unlock a world of creative possibilities. We nurture these attractions, allowing ideas to blossom and evolve into their own unique identities. The result? Knitwear that transcends trends and becomes a captivating story waiting to be told.
