Textile Hive Exhibition
Production, Art Direction, Yukata Design
40,000. That is how many textiles are housed within Textile Hive, the private collection of Andrea Aranow. To kick off a month-long exhibition of her textiles in the Ace Hotel, she envisioned a presentation event that would also coincide with NYFW.
The concept was 14 unique designs by local artists in the form of a Yukata, traditional Japanese summer kimono. The medium was rice paper. Each design was inspired by one of the pieces in the Textile Hive collection.
