This is VERY exciting, since these are some of the most creative, skilled, and tasteful designers in town:
"Gallery19
will be the vehicle for inventive modern clothing, jewelry and objects
by three Chicago-based designers, Friday through Sunday, May 19th-21st!
The
Gallery is honored to host works by Artists Gillion Carrara, Andrea Reynders and Anna Brown. Carrara, director of SAIC’s Fashion Resource Center, uses techniques acquired from around the world to create refined
glass rings, hard wood cuffs and bone letter openers. Reynders, the
Director of the Chicago Fashion Incubator, focuses her clothing design
on simplicity, volume and texture. This devises an unrestricted fluidity
and depth to each of her creations. Brown, a designer-in-residence at
the Chicago Fashion Incubator, makes garments with the independent woman
in mind. Each of the ethically manufactured statement pieces tell her
story.
Join us on Friday, May 19th from 6-9pm
for a reception and an introduction to the designers’ newest clothing
and jewelry lines for 2017. All three designers will take part in an
insightful panel discussion. Gallery19 Co-Owner Dietrich Klevorn will
moderate and entice the designers to speak about the current and future
state of fashion.
Stop by for a viewing during our gallery hours on Saturday, May 20th from Noon-6pm.
We encourage you to leisurely look through and try on the designers’
best works. Carrara, Reynders and Brown will be on hand to answer any
questions about their pieces and how best to wear them.
Listen, shop and get inspired on Sunday, May 21st"
