The Main Street Museum is proud to present its first annual "runway event" showcasing all local talent and independent designers. After more than a decade of Revolution's Tip Top Couture being on display, religiously, twice a year for both spring and fall seasons–the popularity of the Revolution Runway has increased so much over the years, that it has outgrown the practical means of its bi-annual production. But not to worry, it's easy to remember now: It's Revolution in the Fall and the Main Street Museum in the Spring! This season sample the styles and collections of:
ReneFrancesG's "Supersymmetry"
"I've spent 14 years working in various aspects of the arts. Starting as an art department production assistant for a television pilot while living in Los Angeles as well as assisting a unit photographer. After gaining a invaluable working knowledge I returned home and attended cosmetology school. Having a love for make-ups ability to transform and realizing I could extend my love for painting to the human face I began work as a make up artist on a variety small film and fashion projects as well as sales. Shortly after I moved to NYC and found myself creating simple things to wear because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. My grandmother taught me how to sew at an early age. It wasn't until I was a few months into a four year luthier apprenticeship, in my mid twenties, that I thought to endeavor into fashion design. There was something about working with a large variety of tools and machinery from simple to complex that pushed me to educate myself further and apply my new skillset to fashion design. I have since been able to combine my love of color, expression, and harmony with the skill of sewing that has sustained me in my adulthood." http://www.renefrancesg.com/
