"POW, POP, WHIZ!!!!!" The ArtgirLsy* Trashion line debuted last weekend, in collaboration with The Unincorporated Life clothing line, at The Unincorporated celebration at their clubhouse warehouse space downtown. The fashion show was a fusing together of looks from both companies, with fun flourescents, feathers, repurposed denim, plastic, and tee shirt, bone, corks, cardboard tubes and more. The models were rolling down the runway with pizazz, flow and groove, some held cartoon word bubbles of sayings like "LOVE WHIZ", "WATCH OUT NOW" and "POP ART", they danced (to the Entrance Band, Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and The Guess Who)
down the runway with ease and had a ball with it...then came off the runway and posed in front of a cardboard, wood and paper bag constructed set...making the colorful clothing and the beauties stand out amongst the brown background, that came complete with a dress form wearing a paper bag weaved dress and yarn head.
After the models, the designers, Artgirlsy (Jamia Weir) and Summer Salazar of Unincorporated, strutted their stuff wearing their own designs,
Artgirlsy in a primary colored spot dress made out of a Twister mat, and Summer wearing an upcycled tee shirt dress with back made of repurposed birkenstock leather sandles...
they were the conductors and led the models off and then back on the runway. Everyone danced and photoshoots in cardboard set and other backdrops followed. The models couldn't have been sweeter and more fun!!! Everyone looked and felt amazing that new moon...what a magical night.
