NIAD Annex Gallery Exhibition // “The Way We Are, Now: NIAD Fashion Illustrations”

NIAD Art Center 551 23rd Street, Richmond

“The love for fashion spreads, and now the whole studio is thriving off of it,” exhibition curator Shantanice Swain explains.

“For me, fashion is about what you’re comfortable with. It can shift, and it can be anything — clothes, earrings, shoes, drawings. It’s a bold and courageous way of saying, ‘I am who I am today.’” Fashion has the power to affirm and transform: what we wear tells a story about who we are and who we might one day hope to become. Over the past year, artists were encouraged to experiment with materials and draw inspiration from personal histories, pop culture, and future fantasies. Presented here is a selection of works on paper that showcase vibrant and innovative adornments.
