Fashionistas!@ OCCCA

Fashionistas! is a large group show, juried by Claudia Grau, in which adornment meets art. “Fashion is a seductive powerhouse in contemporary culture, worthy of celebration and critique. From the earliest days of civilization to the present moment, we’ve been obsessed by decorative creations to adorn and define our beings. Madly inspired garments, bravura sketches, elaborately finished works, and experimental art in all media including video and installation.”
