This
year as a virtual experience Oceanside Museum of Art decided to go for a full
fashion show hosted by Jan Arnold, CND co-founder
and style director, and Gwen Bates, Director of
Fashion Week San Diego. This pair describes each of the outfits
in detail and the pre-party even gave us a chance to meet some of the designers
in person. The whole event including the pre-part is archived Night of the Living Art: AnArt After Dark Fashion Extravaganza.
I am
writing this while I listen to the after party music with DJ Mandy who is giving us very danceable discs. Until
Nov 8, the fashions will all be on display at OMA. You can vote for the People’s Choice
winner ($1 a vote) and the winner will be featured in the coming months in the
museum gift store. Plus you can actually bid on coveted
must-haves from the show, almost all of which are available for
sale.
Jan
Arnold and Gwen Bates chose a joint winner for the evening Saki and Marty Ornish, who will be given a feature show at OMA sometime in 2021.
I could not help but remember our own Art Meets Fashion project for San Diego Visual Arts Network in 2011 when we matched artists with fashion designer, teachers to write lesson plans and a documenter to record the collaboration. It is interesting to see that this sort of cross over between art and fashion is still a topic of interest.
