Janna Coumoundouros is a visionary fashion designer who transforms automotive materials into sculptural, wearable works of art. She has been commissioned by Inteva Products to create one-of-a-kind gowns for the North American International Auto Show's Charity Preview in Detroit, MI. The materials she uses—found in panels and sunroofs of many automotive brands—are reimagined into elegant designs that blur the line between fashion and sculpture.
Incorporating unexpected elements such as shredded seat belts, vintage machine parts, and delicate beaded lace, Janna’s creations are both innovative and beautiful, offering a striking balance of industrial edge and timeless elegance.
Her work has garnered international recognition, featured in USA Today, The Associated Press, ABC News, U.S. & World Report, and more. Janna’s designs have been exhibited alongside pieces by Anna Sui, John Varvatos, Tracy Reese, and other celebrated Detroit designers in a fashion exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum.
Additionally, her gowns have been showcased at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Flint Institute of Arts, and the University of Michigan, further cementing her reputation as a trailblazer in merging art, fashion, and industry.
