As a solopreneur, every step I take with FABA is deeply personal. Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into creating wearable art that bridges the worlds of fashion and fine art. Today, I’m thrilled to share the next chapter for FABA, one that hones in on quality, focus, and intentionality.

I’ve made the decision to refine my collections into four distinct categories, focusing on accessories, tote bags, vegan leather pieces, hats, hoodies, men’s bomber jackets, and loungewear. These are the pieces that resonate most with you, my community, and with me as a designer. They represent the intersection of functionality and creativity—everyday essentials elevated by art.

By narrowing my scope, I’ll be able to dedicate more energy to crafting fewer but truly exceptional pieces. I want to ensure that every item from FABA carries the essence of what I love most about wearable art: its ability to make bold, creative expression part of daily life. While I’ve decided to temporarily retire some of my previous collections, they’re not gone forever. They may return in time, refreshed and reimagined.

Throughout this evolution, I remain deeply committed to the principles of slow fashion. Every piece in my collection is made using fabrics with the lowest possible environmental impact, aligning with FABA’s Climate Commitment. Sustainability has always been at the core of my work, and this focus is stronger than ever as I refine FABA’s direction.

This shift also allows me to share another dimension of my work: fine art. My original artwork and museum-quality prints are now available through Saatchi Art, one of the most reputable online galleries. You can explore my art at Saatchi Art and find pieces perfect for the holiday season—or as a special gift to yourself.

As I step into this refined direction, I want to thank you for being part of FABA’s journey. Your support inspires me to create art that speaks to both individuality and sustainability. Join me as I embark on this refined journey to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and individuality.

With gratitude,
Ane Howard
