Fall In Love With Fashion Recap

“Slumber Party” by Alvita Lozano and Eric Peoples

On February 14, 2012, several local artists displayed their work for Fall In Love With Fashion, an innovative pop up experience, curated by Alvita Lozano.  While I wasn’t able to take pictures of everything, here are a few of the pieces I was able to catch at the event, hosted at Salon Rehe.  Also, Fall In Love With Fashion was able to raise $695 for FernCare, a local free clinic.  

“Young Hearts” an audiovisual narration by Invisible Twins (Mario and Rose Suau)

“Illusion Collection” by Joey Merchant

“Cake Box” an assemblage of found objects and designer box handbags by Elizabeth Kincaid

“Vita’s Favorite Dessert” an assemblage of found objects and designer doll shoes by Dorinda Balanecki

“Vincenzo” a screen print on glass with mixed media and triptych by Brian Larson and Jacob Lewkow

“Untitled” a design digital print by Mark Sarmel

“Queen” an experimental mixed media garment (and my hands down favorite piece of the show) by Tiffany Best

Save the Date: Fall In Love With Fashion Pop Up Art Experience - February 14, 2012

My friend, stylist and fellow blogger Alvita Lozano has curated Fall In Love With Fashion - an event which brings together two of her loves - fashion and art.  She came up with the idea to curate a fashion themed art event years ago, following a visit to an Ann Arbor art gallery.  After a recent photo shoot she styled, themed, “Fall In Love With Fashion,” Lozano decided to marry the two to create this event. 

Featuring a wide range of artistic talents, Lozano’s mission is to combine 1/3 fashion culture themes, 1/3 social responsibility and 1/3 business.  Lozano’s plans are to curate a fashion and art event annually.          

Appropriately slated on Valentine’s Day, Fall In Love With Fashion promises to be an exciting event.  In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m putting together a window display for the event, which I’m super excited about, so if you’re in the area, I hope you’ll join us.
