The "BFF" Collection
The "BFF" Collection is Bria Gladney's first collection and body of work in her new medium, textiles. Inspired by themes of love and family, this series consists of a limited edition dual-canvas piece "BFF" Duo and it can be hung separately or as one piece connected by a heart clasp, reminiscent of classic best friend necklaces.
The "BFF Duo" was initially created as a birthday gift for her close family members, the concept evolved into a full collection, symbolizing the deep bonds of family and sisterhood.
The collection also debuts Gladney’s first-ever mini bears, a new favorite in her body of work. These include miniature versions of the BFF duo bears alongside monochrome bears in red and pink tones, each named by her mother and sisters.
​
This collection holds personal significance for Gladney, reflecting what she describes as her "lover girl era."
