Artist Sterling Ruby takes the runway! Read more:
fashion designers. If there’s one person to tackle this barrier, though, then it makes sense that it would be Sterling Ruby. And you shouldn’t be surprised. The multimedia artist has an impressive three decades of clothesmaking under his belt, as well as numerous prestigious fashion collaborations.
Ruby was honored as a special guest designer at this year’s Pitti Uomo, the menswear trade show of all menswear trade shows. Previous honorees include, menswear director at Louis Vuitton, who sat front row at Ruby’s show when he debuted his ready-to-wear collection called S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. The line became available online at the same time as his models walked down the runway, embracing the See Now, Buy Now approach.
This collection is certainly not Ruby’s first venture into fashion designing, but it does mark the first time his garments have been made available to the public. Since 2008, Ruby has made countless ensembles reimagining his massive vault of artwork, whether it be his paintings, sculptures, mega collages or quilted textiles. Also on his resume are collaborations with Raf Simons for Dior andLike much of his artwork, S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA.
This aspect of home is responsible for the conservative, Amish-looking dresses seen on the runway. The cover of “Hex,” a 1972 book about murder in his childhood community, adorned the front of a torn-up, acid-washed, neon green garment. Photos of candles, taken by his photographer wife Melanie Schiff, were pasted on a floor-length dress, sweat suit and tote bag. Quilted ponchos kept the Dutch spirit alive, and paint-splattered pieces created a sort of organized chaos.
Needless to say, Ruby left Pitti Uomo with quite the impression in his wake. The irony of it all, however, is that while Ruby was off stewarding his first fashion show in Italy, the most reputable art show of all, Art Basel, was taking place at its home base in Switzerland. No doubt Ruby has already paved a career of success in the contemporary art world. Now, the question is, will he do the same in the fashion world? To be the judge of that, view some pieces from Ruby’s S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA.
