Welcome to iLAALi studio. My name is Liza Alison, and the heart of this studio

lives right in its name: a blend of ila—from the Spanish word hilar ("to spin")—

and ali, from my own name.

​

At iLAALi, textiles are our foundation, but standard fabrics are only the

beginning. Driven by boundless curiosity, we challenge the very existence of

materials—exploring the dialogue between natural, synthetic, artificial, and

bio-materials through experimental treatments, physical combinations, and

reconstructive design. We give second life to existing garments through

circular redesign and craft new, handcrafted pieces designed to endure for

generations.

​

The iLAALi Manifesto​

• Trust through the truth: We build trust through absolute transparency—honoring the raw materials, showing the true work of our hands, and being honest about how our pieces are made and sourced.

• Uncompromising quality & inspection: Every piece we create undergoes rigorous quality standards—testing fiber integrity, construction strength, and finish to ensure exceptional durability.

• Elevating the craft of others: We share our expertise to help fellow designers, artisans, and makers elevate their own quality standards and bring refined, durable textile products to life.

• Transformation over waste: We take existing, pre-loved garments and raw materials, transforming them into extraordinary, one-of-a-kind wearable art.

• Sustainability through endurance: True sustainability lives in circular design: reviving what already exists and crafting new pieces made to last for generations, not seasons.
