Poet Warrior Runway

WOUND got invited to show their latest collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The setting: Diego Rivera Court where he painted the most amazing murals of Industry and Earth.  It was during this time that Frida had her miscarriage at Detroit Receiving and not in New York during the Rockafeller Murals as the wrongly edited movie would have you believe.

Not only were we going to destroy it on the runway, we were going to do it in the sacred halls of a world class museum in conjunction with a world class exhibit of Richard Avedon's Fashion Photography.  The first ever retrospective of this genius.  Total honor.  Breathtaking, deeply moving, historigraphical works. 

We packed the court.  In fact, WOUND brought in the biggest crowd of the year.  Too bad we weren't getting a cut of the door!

An amazing night, team and host!
