Feast & Fashion Event with Designer Anke Loh

This is the most unique event I've ever attended. A fashion show down the aisles of a grocery store!

Anke Loh, a fashion designer who collaborates with companies, textile artists, filmmakers, dancers, and others, explores how these cultures are defined by their pace, and by the idiosyncratic behaviors and perspectives of their people. Her creative pursuits compel her to examine differences between people and cultures, landscapes, streetscapes, sights, and sounds. She works to discover the extraordinary in the seemingly mundane facets and materials that weave the fabric of everyday life in a given culture.

The designwork is an ongoing research and experimentation around Urban Identities, between the boundaries of fashion, society and technology.

The Anke Loh Studio is located in Chicago and she currently works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fashion at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Her latest event – FEAST AND FASHION – was a collaborative event by Efrain Cuevas, Creative Director for the Clandestino Supper Club, and herself, at Chicago’s Carnival Grocery on 9/11/2009.
