Fashion is art. Designers use textiles, patterns, and silhouettes to create wearable masterpieces that showcase creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic innovation. Fashion is a form of expression carried out by a designer that we can put on our naked, canvassed bodies. The art form is an avenue for uniqueness and self-expression. Art is everywhere. It's in the music we sing, the words we write, and in the clothes we make and wear. It's an external expression of our imagination, whether simple or abstract. Fashion reflects cultural, social, and individual viewpoints. As painters and sculptors use canvases, paints, clay, metals, etc. to communicate emotions and ideas, fashion designers use textile garments to tell stories and evoke feelings.
Our amazing, one-of-a-kind, reversible, sustainably made, Indian jackets combine the imaginative flair of art with the practical elegance of wearable everyday clothing.
Two of our most imaginative and handsome customers, who exude daring inspiration and immediately acknowledged the beauty and handmade craftsmanship of these artful textiles, are Jim Mayes of Luray (right side), gallerist owner of The Art Space on 211 (https://warehouseartgallery.com), and Richmond/CVILLE's Happy the Artist (left side), who is currently participating in a five-person exhibition entitled “Time Through People” at The Russell Museum here in Waynesboro. His show is called “Still Kickin’ (Since 1942),” on view through June, and includes watercolors of "encountered events" (https://www.philosophy.org/museum.html#/).
