Yeshekie
Born and raised in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, Yeshekie (Yeshey) is an interdisciplinary artist with a foundation in fashion design. Deeply rooted in her cultural heritage, her creative journey took a transformative turn in Paris, where she pursued formal education in fashion. This duality between the traditional and the contemporary has become the heart of her practice. While grounded in the values of craft and storytelling from home, her time in Paris exposed her to new aesthetics, critical thinking, and global design language, allowing her to explore and challenge the boundaries of her art.
Blending these two worlds, Yeshekie’s work lives at the intersection of preserved tradition and modern experimentation. While fashion remains her core medium, her practice spans across photography, creative writing, craft, and research-based projects. She views each discipline as a language, tools for visual storytelling, and cultural reflection. Her pieces often blur the lines between digital and tactile, combining design sensibilities with handcraft to create layered, intentional narratives.
One of Yeshekie’s central inquiries lies in Bhutan’s rich textile culture. Through ongoing research, she explores how traditional weaving and artisanal knowledge influence the evolving landscape of fashion in Bhutan. She brings a lens of ecofeminism into this work, valuing sustainability, care, and interconnection in both process and product. Her artistry reflects a thoughtful balance of legacy and innovation, and a desire to define what it means to be a culturally grounded, globally engaged artist today.
Currently, Yeshekie works at ReSee, a Paris-based luxury resale platform known for curating and restoring iconic vintage and pre-loved pieces. As a Quality Excellence Expert, she plays a vital role in preserving and elevating the integrity of garments, bridging her love for craftsmanship with a commitment to circular fashion. In restoring these pieces, she continues her pursuit of mindful, sustainable creation, honoring both the past lives of garments and the futures they can hold.
Kindred to the natural world and guided by curiosity, Yeshekie’s work is a quiet yet intentional rebellion—an ongoing search for meaning, beauty, and purpose in the act of making.
