Her work positions fashion as a cultural index of social and economic interactions, and explores how it interfaces with other fields. Negotiating existing objects, materials, and infrastructures, she unpicks and reconfigures the relationships between garments and the systems of authorship and value that produce them. Hoette's practice is interwoven with her role as an educator in which she focuses on creating conditions that support the intersection of teaching, learning, and research across and in between disciplines. She is committed to nurturing nondominant and experimental approaches to practice and research as legitimate forms of knowledge production.

Hoette is joining Sandberg Instituut and Rietveld Sandberg Research after 10 years in the Design Department at Goldsmiths, University of London. As senior lecturer there she played an integral role in the development of MA Design Expanded Practice, a radical post-disciplinary program for which she was also co-program lead. She is co-founder of MODUS, a network and curatorial platform for expanded fashion practice and was recently designer in residence at Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht (2021–2022). She holds a BA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2006) and an MFA from Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York (2012).
