Music, Featured artist, & open micFeaturing: CAMILLE
Ten years ago Gretchen Camille Lafond started to sew in an attempt to get “the look for less.” Something clicked, and her mom’s impeccable lessons on pattern-making were put to use when she joined madeMOIselle Boston as one half of the designing duo. Since 2004, as part of madeMOIselle Boston, she has shown at local universities, Fall ‘n Love Fashion Shows, the Go Red for Heart Disease Campaign Red Dress event in 2007, Fashion Evolution during BFW 2009, Providence Fashion Week 2010, and many more runways.
Somewhere between yards of silk dupony and sticking pins in Bella (her favorite mannequin) she wrote a poem. And another one. And soon performance met poetry, first at Poetic Escape, and any open forum that would allow her.
Not limiting the medium by which her art is expressed, in a rare opportunity, fashion meets poetry. Her poems on life, love, sadness, and laughter ruffle the hemlines of her ultra-feminine designs marked by her unique use of lines and color.
At this month's Poetic Escape, Lafond will show pieces from her very first solo collection “Ciel by Camille Lafond” and will share poems from a collection entitled “an intimate revolt.”
