New York Sotheby's 16th Annual ARC Exhibition & Auction

Event Summary: The 16th Annual ARC Exhibition at Sotheby’s New York is a unique art auction event. Each designer is paired with an international artist of their choice to design a look. I was drawn to Parsoua Mahtash's painting because of the greyscale and glass elements. It fit the edgy, yet classy vibe of It’s Not Taken perfectly. I wanted to push myself, so I chose to create my first ever men’s fit.

Design Description: Influenced from suspender straps, I upcycled vintage Levi’s with studded straps connecting with an oversized sterling silver O-ring. The cargo vest was cut and sewn out of a light weight denim, with hand sewn silver chains to the edges, and dangling glass beads. The tee was cut and sewn with a pre-wrinkled silver sheen fabric.
