Heather Troy’s Groups:

FOE DESIGNS, Co-Founder & Designer, 2004 - present
Foe Designs is a production group with a horizontal leadership model, projects involve limited runs and small budgets for re-contextualizing fashion and iconography. Through the Faux Vuitton project our primary goal was to infuse a ubiquitous designer ID with subtle iconic meaning, giving issues of social and political concern new platforms for infiltrating the consumer mind. Our Faux Vuitton bags have been sold directly to collectors in the US and UK and was a copy-left approach to consumerism. Foe Designs runs on a project based calendar.
