Christopher Aaron is a Mexican-American artist and fashion designer. He studied fashion at Parsons School of Design. In his work he explores themes of identity, specifically those rooted in his bi-cultural identity and examines their effects. This was the theme of his thesis collection titled SO NOW I WONDER WHAT I AM? that earned him a spot on the CFDA Fashion Future Graduate Showcase. He continually brings awareness to issues surrounding bi-cultural and immigrant identities and believes representation through storytelling contributes to equity and inclusion. Christopher has worked on projects with Nike, Eckhaus Latta, Still Kelly, Simon Miller, Eric Emanuel, and stylist Clare Byrne.

Cultures are so vital to our existence and I hope to celebrate those in my work. An identity that values coming from two cultures. I live in the in-between and want to find ways to take up space and seek out representation for the in-between by creating my own design language. I love craft and want to infuse craft into my practice partnering with craftspeople across the world and experimenting with craft in-house. Having a hand-feel to everything I create in order to form those human connections is key to what I do and create. BIPOC representation is a part of my ethos and I want to continue to fight for equity and inclusion.
