Last night I had the pleasure of viewing the Art Meets Fashion show at NTC Promenade. It was put on by San Diego Vision Arts Network (SDVAN) and Fashion Opportunities Connect US (FOCUS). In an attempt to cross pollinate the fashion and art worlds, they put together teams consisting of an artist, a fashion designer, a teacher and a documenter. These teams came up with some creative and beautiful pieces of fashion. The team group exhibitions can be seen daily until September at the San Diego International Airport, Terminal 2, West baggage claim. While at the Promenade, we decided to check out the other activities going on. On display at the Visions Art Museum is Fabric Free Fashion. Window screen, bottle caps, lottery tickets, and maps are just some of the items that the dresses were constructed from. Twenty two fashion designers were invited to stretch the concept of fashion to include any material other than fabric for wearable apparel.
