NYFW Designer Creates Garments Using WeaveUp Fabrics!

We provided custom fabrics for the Stevie Boi collection, CÄBIN. Stevie Boi is the designer behind SBShades. He has worked with Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce, and has been featured in several Vogue editorial shoots. Stevie Boi collaborated with designer and artist Brockstar on several looks for the collection. Brockstar used WeaveUp's unique customization tool to create the perfect CÄBIN fabrics. A few days later, he had his custom fabrics - color variations of Moire Wall 2 and Abstract Grain 4. Read on to hear from Stevie Boi and Brockstar about their inspirations, the power of digital print, and how custom fabrics helped perfect this collection.
