Members' Preview | Fashioning Cascadia

Fashioning Cascadia: The Social Life of the Garment draws from the experience of both
designer and wearer to explore the culture of regional fashion with work by designers
including: Adam Arnold, Michael Cepress, Anna Cohen and Imperial Stock Ranch,
Michelle Lesniak, Carole McClellan, The Portland Collection by Pendleton Woolen Mills,
Liza Rietz, and Anna Telcs.

Fashioning Cascadia’s participatory projects look at the ways we engage, use, and
re-fashion clothing day-to-day. Conceptual works by nationally-recognized artists
illuminate cultural attitudes about fashion through dialogue, storytelling, and
hands-on workshops.

For this Members' Preview event, Portland-based designer Alexa Stark in collaboration with New York-based artist Angeli will present STYLE #AS0463, a performance that illustrates designing, cutting, sewing, and completing a garment in the span of two hours, all on a live model.
