Sustainability in fashion may sound like a contradiction but for Miami fashion designer Pangea Kali Virga, it's a way of life.
Her aim is to build collaborative networks and moving experiences through her work and all of her projects while uplifting the community and showcasing sustainable practices. Pangea is a nomadic designer and has been located in Kansas City, New York City, Vietnam, and now Miami.
Since graduating from FIT in 2012 with a degree in Fashion Design, Pangea has participated in ten runways as designer, curator, or collaborator, stretching the format’s territory to include performance art, sculpture, and corresponding musical compositions. She also served as Designer Curator for the 16th annual West 18th St. Fashion Show where she steered and advised the many collections, as well as styled the runway. In 2018 Pangea designed both men and women's collections for Yaly Couture in Vietnam.
Pangea is the Executive Producer and co-founder of Miami On Sight, a community-minded fashion project, celebrating the city and its people through showcasing established and emerging local sustainable designers in unique, iconic Miami locations. Miami On Sight produces recurring fashion and design events with a focus on outreach, accessibility, environmentalism, and inclusivity to create connections between the arts community and the general public.
Pangea, also a talented stylist, has produced dozens of editorial photo shoots that have been featured in leading fashion journals including Models.com, Lucy's, and Contributor.
Pangea continues to push her work, collaborating in multiple mediums with artists and musicians alike. Ms.Virga is currently living in Miami, Florida and can be hired for sustainability consulting, custom orders, and styling services
