The Athens Fibercraft Guild and the
Lyndon House Arts Foundation Inc. are
sponsoring “Hearts of Fashion,' a fashion
show made up of "wearable art’ by local
artists. The artists will donate a portion of
their profits to the Lyndon House Arts Foun
dation Inc. Endowment Fund. The Founda
tion is a non-profit corporation created to
assist in the development, operation and
maintenance of the Lyndon House Art Cen
ter.
“The fashions range from office wear to
utterly outrageous,’ said Tracy Jefferies of
the Lyndon House Arts Center. The cloth
ing certainly runs the gamut from hilarious
to serious. There’s the well-pressed “News
print Suit’ donated by Flagpole publisher
Dennis Greenia. This suit is made of the fin
est material — Flagpole Magazines —
shredded and sewn to form a fringed suit
of newsDrint.
Lori Gann-Smith, who is studying cos
tume design at the UGA Drama Department,
created the dress and matching hat set “The
Effect That Pop Culture Can Have (on You).’
Shown hefe ore Hog pole Publisher Dennis Greenki In his

'The Effect That Pop Culture Can Have on You' on outfit
designed by Lori Gann-Smith. AH this and more will part of the
Wearable Art Show that wil raise money for the Lyndon House
Arts Foundation.
Art Fits# wear n
The skirt is made from screen mesh wire and
the body is created from tabloid magazines
twisted and twined together. The hat is also
constructed from tabloid magazines and is
graced with a plastic-bag rosette.
Nikki Combs of Lexington, Ga., also re
cycles materials not usually considered
fashion fabrics. Her purse, "Lunar Eclipse,"
is made with chicken wire, glass, wood and
stone trinkets. The bag holds together very
well with the sturdy chicken wire, and the
transparent nature of the purse allows the
owner to contribute to the creation by filling
it with something equally interesting to match
whatever she is wearing.
This show is not about zany fashions,
however. It focuses on locally created fash
ions for all types of wear. The diversity dis
played in the fashion show will include any
thing from hats, dresses and handbags to
capes and kimonos. The methods are var
ied, but the bulk of the fashions are serious
wear for the everyday person.
Erika Lewis weaves and dyes her own
fabric and puts together a warm cotton coat
appropriate for office or evening wear. One
coat has braided sleeves and a pewter clo
sure. The colors are subtle enough so that
the owner can match the piece with a vari
ety of clothing.
Margaret Agner’s wool cape is perfect
for evening wear. On a cream background,
Agner has airbrushed dragonflies in pastel
colors. The imagery is almost as transpar
ent as a dragonfly’s wings and sweeps
around the mantle, displaying the flight of
colors. The cape is held together at the neck
by the elegant Chinese frog knot.
This is not art that plunges you deeply
into thought, causing you to ponder the ori
gins of the universe or the why of existence.
Th ! s is art woven into everyday life. It puts
you at ease and gives you something nice
to wear while you are existing.
