…New York City Ballet has its fashion gala; now Dixon Place, the eclectic Lower East Side theater, hosts StylePointe, a fashion-and-dance runway experience… – Gia Kourlas, NY Times.
Producer Sangeeta Yesley and co-curator Mariana Leung have invited emerging and established fashion designers with complete collections to submit work samples for this unique annual showcase. A series of wonderful collections were selected with diverse backgrounds and paired with choreographers representing various dance styles who then created unique dance vignettes and assembled professional dancers to showcase each of the fashion collections.
This year the Legendary Fashion Designer Byron Lars will be presenting looks from his Fall 2021 Collection and the Holiday Collection together with fashion accessories by Sheila Gray Collection.
