Her reverence for nature and culture took root early on and is still honored today.
Her entre into the world of the textile arts was centered around the runways and internships at Calvin Klein Home while earning her MFA. By graduation, Aviva’s designs for Calvin Klein and Donna Karan were on store shelves, earning her a mention in Vogue. These early triumphs turned into commissions from Christian Dior, Givenchy Couture, and Madonna among others.
