ICONS OF STYLE: PORTRAITS IN TEXTILES

Mixed media portraits suspended from garment racks, featuring reconstructed looks from the Lauren Altman Studio collection.

This series celebrates women who inspire the Lauren Altman Studio world—some are cultural icons, others are models and muses who brought the clothing to life in past runway shows.

Each portrait is built with bold textures and layered with textile remnants from the collection. Many subjects wear reimagined looks made from these very scraps—blurring the line between fashion and art, muse and icon.
