GINA FAIOLA
The brains of wasted.knot is Gina Faiola. A recent graduate from Emerson College, Gina received a bachelors in Theatre Studies and was among the first graduating class of the E3 Entrepreneurship program, where she conceived wasted.knot.
What began as a Boston-based urban fashion house that has shown in NYC and Canada and sold in premium vintage stores across the States; wasted.knot has gone on to costume design for both film and theatre and most recently dressed Boston's most impressive vaudeville and sideshow act, Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band.
Within the last year, Gina has also sold vintage souvenir t-shirts at Boston's premier outdoor market, the South End Open Market and currently writes for Karmaloop.com.
