Natalia Fedner Biography

Natalia Fedner is a Ukrainian-American couture fashion designer, inventor, and artist recognized for her work at the intersection of technology and wearable art. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Fedner studied fashion and textile design in New York City and Paris, learning under Tim Gunn at Parsons and earning the Silver Thimble Award for best collection as a junior. She gained industry experience at Calvin Klein Collection, Donna Karan Collection, and Marc Jacobs before establishing her own brand. Her early interest in design and invention began at age 4 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, where she repurposed discarded colored wires from a local telephone communications company into bracelets.

Fedner is known for inventing Stretch Metal, a patented textile that has influenced the fashion industry. This 6-way stretch metal textile molds to the body, adapts to various body shapes and sizes, and matches body temperature within seconds. Her couture pieces, handcrafted in Los Angeles using proprietary textile techniques and traditional French haute couture methods, have been featured in Vogue, which described her as "The Designer Creating the Hottest Celebrity Looks Made of Metal."

Fedner has designed for celebrities including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Cher, Lenny Kravitz, Doja Cat, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Shakira, Charlize Theron, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner. Her designs have appeared on runways in Paris and New York City, and in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. Her work has been highlighted in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, The Cut, L'Officiel, Esquire, Maxim, Sports Illustrated, Complex, and Galore.

While competing on "Project Runway: Under The Gunn," Fedner created the first working mechanical dress in the series. She presented her Spring/Summer Ready-To-Wear collection at Miami Swim Week and was recognized as the closing night designer of New York Fashion Week powered by Runway 7, noted for her innovative metal textiles and sculptural silhouettes. Her accolades include the Silver Thimble Award from Parsons Paris and the Rising Star Eveningwear Award from FGI.

Fedner's brand emphasizes sustainability through upcycling, creating wearable art, and utilizing her patented 6-way stretch metal textile for clothing, interiors, and sculptures. She has expanded into resin metal sculptures, exhibiting her gravity-defying works throughout the United States. Fedner leads a small team in producing unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for clients and stores, often incorporating vintage silk fabrics to create environmentally conscious designs.
