Style: The Art of Dressing

A celebration for master craftsmen and women across our state and beyond, the annual Festival of the Arts returns to Bicentennial Park at the end of this month. From photography and paintings to mixed media and jewelry, the creative energy pulsing through downtown will be palpable. With the artistic landscape being painted in the heart of our city, it seems only fitting to craft something ourselves, and what better place to start than in your own closet? Intentionally select pieces or brands that spark inspiration. Austin-based brand Molyan handmakes canvas coats, each adorned with vibrant stitching and intricate patterns. Oklahoma’s own Sydnie Peebles recognizes the potential of the pieces all around us (including vintage gloves) as she creates exquisite Sydnie Banks handbags. New York based twin sisters Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato create breathtaking jewelry, sourcing materials from their global travels and fellow creatives. With no shortage of artistic expression and imagination, be bold and inventive through the art of dressing.
