Fashion designer R. Mackswell Sherman returns to Skagit to show off his artistic wearable vision.
He met his now business partner Sarah Jones in Olympia, and they formed Ruffeo Hearts Lil' Snotty Nose. The two began selling clothing on the then fledgling Etsy on-line store in 2000, and were invited to be part of the Etsy Collective. This prompted their move from Washington to Brooklyn, New York in. They eventually branched out into their own operation MOVES, of which there are three separate clothing lines. Ruffeo Hearts Lil' Snotty Nose aka RHLS features whimsical and bright primary colored party clothes made from soft comfy materials. Kid Ruffeo is their children's line. Fashion Origins of New York (FONY) offers clothing with the colors are subdued and the designs that are more sleek. Mesh and other fabric types used in the construction.
Mackswells' eye catching designs added a dash of color and texture to the cozy ACME gallery. Karl Blau set up in the corner stirring up the air with samples and tape loops to complete the creative immersion on an otherwise, dark wet late December night.
Happy 2018 from all of us at Skagit Art Music. Thanks for your support last year, and keep a look out for more coverage of the vibrant art scene around us.
