I adore designing architectural garments, but I LIVE to invent "AH HA" moments for the fabulously fashion-forward and for fashion students everywhere.
This year, I've curated a gallery exhibit of gutsy fashion design which steps outside the realm of average & challenges your expectations of what defines a garment.
It's called "Frock & Roll: Fashion That Rocks" and
it opens in Allentown, PA on February 9, 2012...in perfect sync with NY
Fashion Week.
The show runs thru March 2nd, but don't wait till then to see it, 'cuz some designer pieces are for sale & they won't last long! ;D
