Presque Pret a Porter is coming!
Posted on June 16th, 2010 No commentsPresque Prêt a Porter:
Join the repurposed revolution!
Live draping and clothing creation using recycled and re-purposed clothing and fabric- taped and draped on YOU by a skilled costumier, A. Laura Brody.
6/19/10, 8-10 PM at Beauty is Pain, the rock and roll couture boutique at 1443 N. Highland Ave (just south of Sunset).
Improvised aural explosions by the dynamic duo of David O and Ameenah Kaplan, joined by many adventurous volunteers.Bring a piece of clothing or fabric to sacrifice to the art and become born anew from its ashes…jeans that never fit? Unfortunate drapes? Bedraggled bed linens? That never-to-be-used bridesmaid dress? All will be re-made and re-worn.
And you will be a living work of art!
Entrance is free, though donations are always welcome…
DONATIONS (of fabric, clothing, tape or wine for the bar) bring preferential draping privileges.
This is an official part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival! Come see the site project at http://www.hollywoodfringe.org/project/view/180
and the sights for all around Hollywood this June at http://www.hollywoodfringe.org/ ! -
