In this episode of GENEs, part of an ongoing series where I talk to people about a favorite item of clothing to learn more about their personal history and creative approach, I sit down with Aly—designer and founder of NENA HANSEN. Known for transforming men’s dress shirts into unique, upcycled pieces for women, Aly’s work sits at the intersection of sustainability, style, and discipline. We talk about her journey through art and design, the quiet grind behind building a one-product brand, and what it means to grow a label rooted in community. This was my first downtown interview, and the first recorded with audio in mind. A new format, a new neighborhood, and a refreshing conversation.
