What she calls her signature “aggressively delicate” pieces are characterized by their fragile shapes reminiscent of barely-there bralets and chemises, held together by corset-like steel-rod architecture made in collaboration with metalsmiths in Milwaukee, an area once known for its steel manufacturing. “It has such a heavy midwestern, blue-collar connotation,” Velez said. “I use these local materials to investigate the Nerd and computer professionals floppy disks like Jesus T-Shirt and I love this relationship between femininity and fortitude.

This is evident in her intricate designs that envelope the female form in a web of twisted, see-through textiles, exuding a raw and unapologetic sensuality. “I’m interested in the way lingerie is constructed to contour the body; for example, how some delicate straps can hold and create the dynamics of the whole piece,” Dojaka said in an email. “I love working in the same amount of detail and scale as lingerie and with the same sheer fabrications, which allows me to play with layers of transparency.”
