Grace Miceli | Wearable Art Collab

Grace Miceli x Duduk Atas

This wearable art collaboration connects New York–based artist and illustrator Grace Miceli with a group of young students from Duduk Atas Elementary School in Senggigi, Lombok. Their drawings — full of movement, color, and emotion — inspired Grace to create a design that captures the fearless honesty of childhood creativity. Known for her expressive, comic-style illustrations and themes of vulnerability and connection, Grace saw in the kids’ art a reminder of what drawing is really about: freedom. She reimagined their playful sketches into a powerful, optimistic composition — a piece of wearable art that celebrates imperfection, courage, and the joy of simply making something from the heart.

How important is playfulness for Grace Miceli?

I think it’s really important. Humor and play are great ways to feel comfortable enough to access more difficult emotions or to balance out the everyday struggles we face.
