Held on April 11, 2014, KMAC Couture featured 29 emerging and established regional artists who created unique wearable art for a runway show. The selection of pieces for KMAC Couture was based on originality, creativity, durability, and concept. Works in this exhibition highlight the variety of approaches and mediums utilized by the diverse artists.
