Founded in 2020, Krystal Paniagua's eponymous label pays tribute to her Puerto Rican heritage. At 16, Paniagua experimented with sewing, eventually formalizing her skillset at FIT. Across each stage of development, Krystal has prioritized authenticity; her clothes candidly represent the decay and imperfection that pervaded her upbringing in the Caribbean. Paniagua's clothing is handcrafted, with a unique knitting technique that eliminates cutting and reduces textile waste. Krystal's tops, dresses, and accessories exhibit inspirational novelty that differentiate them within women's knitwear.
