About Teakitten

Malena Mari is an Argentinian fashion designer based in Broward county Florida. She grew up in both the United States and Argentina, were she realized the different pressures of society but also how every human contains at least one similar feeling: love. Her passion for art has pushed her to make choices most would seem risky but these decisions led her to being able to express who she always was. While creating these pieces, she thought back to times where some have a difficult time accepting how they truly feel. Times where you want to feel anger and sadness but your heart aches with love. This feeling she is drowning in is poured into every stitch sewn. Even in instances where she has found she's made an error, she reminds herself that our mistakes identify one from another. Using what she can to create clothing from what little she has like adorable spoons, buttons, beads, lace, and doilies. Malena spots the Beauty in even the tiniest gadgets that may appear useless to many but make up Teakitten. She has always seen the potential in everyone and everything. Since she was little she would voice her thoughts and ideas with a pencil and paper, creating things that would soon come to life. Her whimsical optimism in the way she views the world is undeniably inspiring.
