One part exhibit, one part speaker series, and one part fashion show, the Economics of Art Event on June 18th held at Potrero Hill’s Project One Gallery was greater than the sum of all these parts. Benefitting the upcoming 2nd Annual San Francisco Fashion Awards, a collaborative cacophony of local artists united to share and celebrate San Francisco’s underground of undiscovered talent. Blending conceptual and multi-layered influences the “Come As You Are” art installation possessed a raw, multi-cultural aesthetic that juxtaposed iconic, metaphorical, and abstract elements. Aglow in incandescent light, the open gallery space was a perfect backdrop to the evening’s main event, an entrepreneurial speaker series featuring fashion designer Scatha Allison, Artefacture founder Christopher Jablonski, lingerie designer Jennifer Lynne, Innovative Fashion Council of San Francisco Executive Director Yetunde Schuhmann, and milliner Jasmin Zorlu. The program’s grand finale was a runway show with capsule collections from local design students Jamie Cole, Julia Meeks, and Carly Mikkelsen.
