Diarra Bousso

  • Algorithmic prints
  • Made-to-order production
  • Size-inclusive silhouettes

Diarra Bousso brings mathematics and artisanal production together through Diarrablu. Her algorithms generate prints and support a made-to-order process intended to reduce excess inventory, while makers in a family-run Dakar workshop produce much of the clothing.
