Mase Maku graduated from Kent State University in 2022, achieving a BFA degree in Fashion Design, and minor in Arts Entrepreneurship.

     Her love for fashion comes from her love of transformation, and the way clothes can transform us into who we want to be. Possessing a love for fantasy and romance, she creates fashion that walks the line between art and commercial.

     Throughout her studies, Mase completed numerous internships with several companies including: 1 Atelier, Christian Cowan, Weslah, Nake & Sons of Gemini.

      Upon graduation Mase moved to New York and began her post grad career with Halston. Beginning as an assistant, Mase graduated to associate designer within one year through demonstration of her talents and responsibility.

Throughout her time at Halston, Mase expanded her many skills, and was able to design several pieces that were put into production, and sold at retail. Her design aesthetic reflects an artisanal approach, with a focus on unique draping and custom hardware.
