Art To Wear Wrap Up

Dec 10, 2024 | Art to Wear & More

Another year, another show. This year we had seven models from local colleges and they did a fantastic job showcasing our vendors’s creations resulting in several items literally being sold off their backs!  Saturday’s fashion show featured our ATW vendors while Sunday’s show featured “Up & Coming Sacramento Designers” and included 1st year designers: Ricci Wilson, Cierra Reed and Luna Galvan in addition to returning Designers: Brian Johnson, Heather Autumn Lee, and Nika Ivanov. Cierra notably is a returning model who was inspired to submit her first pieces!
