Lillian Maple

I am a graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and dual emphasis in Brand Management and Product Development & Design. I am skilled in fashion sketching, apparel construction, textile development, and trend research. I am currently working as an Assistant Designer at Carter's Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia where I create children's apparel for Child of Mine, the Walmart Exclusive Brand.

​

My creative mantra is that history is the ultimate archive for fashion inspiration. I believe that drawing from the aesthetics and quality of the past is the best way to create timeless yet unique designs.

​

Additionally, I love to use the beautiful natural world around me to inform my creative vision. I incorporate novelty textures and exciting prints that are primarily inspired by my love for flowers, animals, and changing seasons.

​

As the owner of my small business, I pride myself in sourcing exclusively repurposed textiles from second-hand stores- sometimes I even pull from my grandmother's vintage fabric collection. My handmade, sustainably sourced garments can be found on Instagram and in-store at Community Boutique in downtown Athens, Georgia.
