A Fusion of Fashion and Art |
|
The Fashion Lab explores the craft of fashion, the art of fashion and the art that references fashion by presenting five to six events annually. These events – exhibitions, lectures, trunk shows, etc. – will be presented by Craft Alliance and in partnership with other organizations such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Washington University of St. Louis’ Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. Members will receive exclusive invitations to previews of the events or event related dinners/ cocktail parties. |
