Jacqueline Strano

Jacqueline Strano is a visual artist and fashion historian whose work explores the emotional and cultural narratives embedded in clothing. Through embroidery, mixed media, and vintage imagery, she reimagines garments and photographs as vessels of memory, identity, and resistance.

With a background in the New York fashion industry and a B.S. in Fashion Merchandise Management from the Fashion Institute of Technology, Strano’s early career immersed her in the language of design and material culture. Over time, she turned toward textile-based fine art, using hand-stitching as both a meditative practice and a form of storytelling.

Her work often combines historical photographs with embroidery, merging eras to reveal the threads that connect women’s lives across time. Each piece is both archival and intimate — a dialogue between past and present, femininity and power, ornament and meaning.
