Meet the Women of FET!SH
Fifteen women artists have collaborated on the FET!SH Project
and will model their art-to-wear works in a flashmob-style
fashion show during two special Detroit Month of Design events
on Sept. 1 and 15. Laura Earle, her husband, Rich, and fellow
artist Sara Kilany created the energetic soundtrack for the
performance. The original percussive composition was made
from the sounds of women walking across a variety of floor
surfaces and the sounds of shoes dropping.
