The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced its “Fall 2016 Wear LACMA Collection,” featuring unique fashion and apparel by Oliver Peoples, Pam & Gela and Lisa Eisner. Wear LACMA is an art and fashion collaboration between the museum and some of Los Angeles’s top designers celebrating the museum’s permanent collection. Designers explore the museum’s collection and select an artwork – in any medium or period in art history – and create a new piece inspired by this work of art.
The Fall 2016 collection, which launches in November, includes an original pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses inspired by Chris Burden’s “Urban Light” (2008); fashion items by Pam & Gela incorporating crane and blossom motifs from 19th and 20th century Japanese ceramics; and fine jewelry by Lisa Eisner inspired by Jay DeFeo’s painting “The Jewel” (1959).
Wear LACMA is an initiative of the museum’s Director’s Circle, a fundraising group that supports the museum’s programs and exhibitions. LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd. For information, visit www.lacma.org.
