Winter Exhibit at Maritime Garage Gallery Features Fashion as Art
Exhibit at South Norwalk art gallery features fashion designs by students of the New England Fashion & Design Association
The Maritime Garage Gallery’s winter exhibit, “LINE”, features the works of New England Fashion & Design Association students who have created pieces of art expressed in the form of a fashion collection. The nine students, ages 13-17, were asked to take inspiration from the 2008 African Collection by John Galliano for Christian Dior. The young designers researched African art and attire and experimented with different media in their designs.
