Mass Appeal to Showcase Wearable Art

Mass Appeal to Showcase Wearable Art
This year's Mass Appeal fashion show is taking on a different twist. Designers and fashion boutiques are being asked to dress it down for once - the concept is based on a timely favorite... wearable art. That means that fashion gawkers will rejoice in seeing some totally unusual and original works of art being worn by some of Buffalo's hottest fashionistas. Designers are being asked to incorporate 'found' objects into the clothing. Ever witnessed a pop bottle cap vest strutting down the runway? Or a model sporting real headlights? This could be the year.

The fashion show has sold out in previous years, much to the satisfaction of Producer Erin Habes and sponsoring organization the Elmwood Village Association. Elmwood Avenue boutiques are being asked to participate in the event in conjunction with non-fashion merchants that can help by offering the different 'found' materials for the wardrobes. Mass Appeal takes place on Friday, November 5th at Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church.

Any designers looking to get in on the action can contact Erin directly.
