About the event
The event features 2 rooms of wearable art, one --with one-of-a-kind museum-worthy creations for special event wear that will blow your mind. The second room features Lola's photography and painting techniques displayed in silky, soft athleisure designed to be worn everywhere! If you've shopped with Lola before, wear yours to the event! We'll be celebrating our vibrancy together!
Last year featured a 30-year retrospective of the artist. This year, she will have different prices on display, including the unique new gown "Rise of the Matriarchy" featured in the finale of a NY fashion week show on Sept 10 and other looks. What you learn will surprise you!
To be able to serve eveyrones needs at different times, Lola will speak about the matriarchy at 1:30 and 3:00, so you have time to hear about that. She can explain the other works in the studio before or after the matriarchy talk.
Please be advised there are four front steps to enter the studio. There is a specially decorated private changing room on the main floor so you can experience the awesome power of the clothing yourself! Don't be afraid to ask to try things on-- that's the whole point! These pieces are designed to be put into motion and to positively affect the person who sees themselves and those who see them, too.
There will also be a limited amount of home goods, tees, and some experimental pieces too!
