Fast-Track Design An exhibition of fashion, fashion photography and furniture at Detroit Artists Market complements this year's Detroit International Auto Show. SUZANNE CHESSLER Special to the Jewish News 111 onica Sklar respects style — the retro • funk she likes to wear and the varieties she's bringing to the "Design Show," an exhibit of fashion, fashion photos and furniture running through Feb. 2 at the Detroit Artists Market. Sklar, who has planned styling for print and electronic media projects, is co-curator of the exhibit and has cho- sen the work of five fashion designers and five fashion photographers from the area. Nicole Barbour, an instructor at the College for Creative Studies, has selected work by five area furniture designers. "Nicole and I work quite separately and only come together for the aesthet- ics of the exhibit," says Sklar, 25, a master's degree candidate at Eastern Michigan University. "The show was conceived to com- plement the North American International Auto Show, and we're keep- ing that in mind. "We all enjoy the automo- tive designs, but we wanted to showcase other kinds of local design talent as well. The timing gives the public a good opportu- nity to see two downtown shows in one day. "People can take in the latest auto ideas and then stop by the gallery to eye these other fields." Emerging Artists The curators looked for emerging artists, work quality and a commitment to careers as they made the final cuts. Sklar has chosen the clothing of Eugenia Paul, Laura Rockwood, Rachael Gabrielle Buckay, Beth Breidenstein and Nahla Shaaya along with the photography of Scott Sprague, Angie Baan, Chris Scalise, Nicola Kuperus and Emin. Barbour selected the furniture of Chris Bennfield, David Gillespie, Michael Moosh, Gonzalo Rodriguez and Adam Shirley. On the fashion front, Eugenia and Paul Patterson make up the design team "Eugenia Paul" and have been working together for 14 years. They have been making clothing sold at House of Chants in Ferndale and Olas of Lansing, and they have done cos- tume design for Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre Company, the Gem and Century theaters and Wayne State's Ballet Renaissance. Beth Breidenstein, a northern Michigan native, founded Spiral Clothing in Detroit in 1995. With a concern for environmental and human rights issues that often cloud more traditional clothing manufacturers, she decided to create products made only from hemp, organic cotton, Tencel and Style magazine, Hour, Metro Times and Chicago's Venus, as well as Big, an inter- national magazine published in London. In the furniture arena, Gonzalo Rodriguez, a native of Argentina who came to Detroit when he was 17, has had his creations featured in a number of magazines and has hadhis work commissioned for many local business- es. He has exhibited at C-Pop Gallery in Detroit, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and the Neocom Show in Chicago. Left to right: recycled fleece. All of the manufacturing is done by a women-owned and operated busi- ness out of Manistee, Mich. In the area of fashion photography, Emin, also publisher of Clear magazine, has photographed nearly 9,000 fashion models and had his work featured in Elle and Harper Bazaar. He is the win- ner of the 1998 American Photo Contest. Angie Baan prefers a romantic style when shooting fashion models in every- day situations. Her work has been shown at C-POP, MONA (Museum of New Art) and Detroit Contemporary. Her commissions include spreads in • These fashion designs by Beth Briedenstein, who likesnatural fabrics, are made from hemp.
