Fiber Talks!
In conversation with Leilani Bennett and Marcia Manzo, Wearable Art Creators.

Art To Wear; Is It a New Concept?

The Wearable Art Movement began in the 70’s ….. or did it?
Marcia and Leilani will take you on a journey from Kurdish huts and ethnic clothing adorned with talismanic embellishment to the haute couture of the Paris runways. We will visit the Beat culture of 70’s Carnaby Street and the mountain villages of Peru. The journey ends in the Bay area, home to a wide array of talented artists keeping the movement vibrantly alive and well.
