About this Event
DEXTERITY (dekˈsterədē) - Skilled in performing difficult tasks, especially with the hands.
++++++++++++++++
Fashion and Art have long been intertwined in a synergistic union that dates back centuries. At its core, fashion is a form of artistic design and self-expression communicated through clothing. Like art, fashion broadly reflects the cultural zeitgeist, social issues, and political moods of its era while simultaneously influencing culture. Fashion provides a kinetic dimension to the art experience - the chance to not just observe but inhabit and move within an artist's creation. When executed with skill, clothing offers individuals the ultimate tool for self-curation and embracing art as part of lived identity.
Enjoy a night of DEXTERITY - hosted by Korto Momolu (Fashion Designer & Project Runway Allstars) and Kenny 'KAS' Flanagan (Fashion Designer & Celebrity Stylist).
There will be a live fashion show, art gallery and pop up shop with designers' exclusive merch!
Produced & Powered by Global Moves Entertainment and The Grandeur Brand, in partnership with The Commentary, DJ Greenize and DJ NEZ.
