Wilson’s World: Stepping into the World of Couture and High Fashion at the Mint Museum

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Wilson received a little help from WCCB News Edge contributor Ashley Anderson while at the Mint Museum this morning.  He was giving us a look at the newest exhibit at The Mint Randolph  Charlotte Collects:  Contemporary Couture and Fabulous Fashion.

Ashley is only one of the many collectors who donated their fashion for the exhibit which focuses on 21st century fashion….which also includes Chandra Johnson and Cam Newton.  From long gowns, cocktail attire and wedding dresses the exhibit highlights the beautiful craftsmanship, intricate detail and fine materials of couture fashion. Designs include extraordinary creations by Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Missoni, Issey Miyake, Isaac Mizrahi, Rochas, Rodarte, Jason Wu, Valentino, Giambattista Valli, and Junya Watanabe.

This Wednesday The Mint Randolph will hold a panel conversation about the Charlotte Collects exhibit.  This panel celebrates the fashion-forward women whose extraordinary collections are featured in Charlotte Collects.  Ashley Anderson will be participating on the panel.  The event is free to the public, but pre-registration is required.

For more information the Charlotte Collects:  Contemporary Couture and Fabulous Fashion as well as the panel discussion and all of the upcoming events at The Mint Museum Randolph check out their website mintmuseum.org.  The exhibit runs through February 4th.
