JUNE 9, 2009 UPDATE: Some items have been deactivated as they have gone into local shops. Live in or visiting Tucson, Arizona? Look for my stuff at: * Bohemia (2920 E. Broadway Blvd.) - artsy/funky mega-boutique in a mid-century strip mall that looks like it's about to blast off into space * Parasol Project's Bizarre Bazaar (299 S. Park Ave.) - handmade & vintage shop, art gallery, sewing co-op & performance venue in a converted warehouse
The Art Diva is a fashionista trapped inside an artist's head... or maybe an artist trapped inside a fashionista's head.
Either way, she's an lifelong artist/self-taught fashion designer who re-styles yesterday's clothing and shoes into new, using choice vintage fabric swatches and smatterings of paint (looks random but is actually carefully planned and meticulously executed). All created to a soundtrack of disco and jazz. Tiny collages and select vintage pieces round out the virtual aisle endcaps.
