EMBELLISHED WEARABLE ART SHOW 2024
Features AJJ's "FREE BIRD" collection, AJJ also co-produced the show with the board of directors for The Bayshore Arts District.
The first annual benefit/ fundraiser runway show raised $22k with their mission;
“Encourage growth and development within the Bayshore Arts District through creative placemaking.”
The "Free Bird Collection" is a runway-exclusive series created by AJJ in just under a month of her arrival to Naples, FL from studying at The London College of Fashion. Featuring five original designs, each look features hand-painted detailing, fully patterned, draped, and sewn original designs, incorporating vintage and recycled materials adding depth and sustainability. The collection draws inspiration from Alanna’s time wandering the streets of London, and reflecting on the last two years she spent in Philadelphia. Named after a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, "Free Bird," the collection serves as a satirical commentary on American politics and the concept of freedom.
