Fashion Fusion winners strut their stuff in downtown Houston exhibition
September 30, 2016 | greystar
What: Opening of The Refinement of Line in Fashion and Machineexhibition.
Where: Two Allen Center.
The scoop: Eight Houston Community College students who took part in a Fashion Fusion design competition inspired by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston exhibition, Sculpted in Steel: Art Deco Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1929—1940, were selected to have their work on display in Art Brookfield's latest exhibition. Their fashion designs mirrored the high-style exhibition of sleek vehicles from the Art Deco period.
Peruvian-born student Luisa Nadarajah said the experience taught her how far she can go in this industry. Last year she hosted a fashion show fundraiser in Houston to build a day care center for malnourished children in Peru. She hopes the recognition allows her to continue to work to improve the lives of Peruvians.
As the cultural arm of real estate company Brookfield, Arts Brookfield organizes exhibitions in the lobby of its properties. This exhibition will remain up until September 29. Admission is free.
