Creatives and collectors gathered in South Florida earlier this month for Miami Art Week and Art Basel, and denim was popular canvas in and outside of the galleries.
The Wall Art Gallery hosted a “Denim Revival” pre-party to showcase Miami’s vibrant art and fashion scene. At the center the event was a runway show featuring couture and bridal designer Samy Gicherman’s embellished denim. Pieces included crystal-covered co-ords, fringe Trucker jackets and nods to Western fashion.
