Midnight Waltz, by Ludmila Arisistova, Fashion show winner, dress is hand painted with quilted jacket.
Last week I attended the Quilt Festival here in Houston and it was absolutely amazing. On Thursday night Bernina held their 2008 wearable art fashion show. The show entitled Rendezvous featured garments from 48 designers that embroidered, beaded, quilted, and hand painted their fabulous designs. On Friday and Saturday Bernina also held “Meet the Designer” seminars and informal fashion shows allowing participants to talk to the designers about their design and construction techniques. The following slide show includes a few of the designs from the informal show.
