EVOLVE WEAR 3
wearable proposals for a new world
6 - 10 pm
This collection of storytelling visuals, giving praise to the universal spirit with "In Beauty I walk",
honoring the gifts of what surrounds us
or the unexpected use of discarded products to extend the material's life, each creation narrates with a poetic or philosophical approach to FASHION FOR THE FUTURE.
The imagery we create about ourselves to describe a state of mind, status, intent, and  adornments is shifting to new boundaries,
the various participating artists bring their ideas and examples to the viewers mind.

Wearable designs and concepts by Uta Brauser, Vincent Minervini, Masae Satouchi, Vincent Zambrano, Laura Quattrocchi and Casimir Alexander.
