Totes & Coats, Nothing New Here: An Upcycle Fashion Event by Lorna Miser
Atrium 916
Environmental fashion designer, Lorna Miser, debuts her
2023 couture line of purses and outerwear. Mingle with
models in this interactive exhibit, sip complimentary
wine alongside live music and an exclusive interview with
the artist.
Artistic, one-of-a-kind coats, purses, and bags sourced
from previously used items compose a spring collection
like no other. Lorna Miser’s complex couture pieces
highlight four decades of ingenuity and bring
sustainability to the forefront of the conversation on
the immediate need for change.
During the opening reception, attendees will meet models
and see Miser’s intricately crafted designs as they were
intended: in action as wearable art. This exhibit and
opening event showcases the possibilities of upcycled
fashion, and provides a snapshot into the behind the
scenes processes that go into creating clothing out of
materials such as upholstery remnants, inner tubes, used
leather coats, quilts and jeans.
Fashion lovers and art collectors alike are invited to
the exhibition opening night. Enjoy live music,
complimentary beverages. The gallery space is well
ventilated with floor to ceiling accordion french doors
that open to the patio, creating an indoor/outdoor
setting.
