FASHION OF THE FLESH: AN UNOFFICIAL EVENT OF PITTSBURGH FASHION WEEK
Fashion of the Flesh: an Unofficial Event of Pittsburgh Fashion Week / Thursday, September 30, 2021
Owner/designer of ALYN TEES + custom apparel printing, Andrea Caruso made her runway show fashion debut by becoming a designer for the exclusive Fashion of the Flesh event, held at Cavo Nightclub in Pittsburgh, PA.
FOF is structured to show off alternative fashion, beautiful/handsome models, and most importantly - the incredible artwork of our local tattoo artists. ALYN TEES is a rotating collection of simple, yet significant t-shirts, inspired by expressive art where each piece has a story - a beginning, a middle, and maybe some sleeves.
ALYN TEES uses observations, raw emotions, and sociological perspective to create shirts with inspiration to help those that wear it feel comfortable in their skin... because we're all a work in progress - and trying to look good as fuck.
Featuring deconstructed formalwear, custom apparel printing, and her original collection of tees, ALYN showcased a set of baddie fashion runway looks with soft textures, classic lines, and raw glamour. Each element of these custom pieces were thoughtfully created to display the permanent artwork and natural beauty of her seven stunning models, Casey Maksin (red), Rhiannon Jordan (orange/yellow), Moriah Dechicchis (green/blue), Gabriella Caruso (pink/purple), Lindsey Roush (white), Charlotte Webb (grey), and Brooke Bonacci (interactive art model).
Special shoutouts to friends and family for the encouragement, Nichole Carter for the push, TJ Harris for the opportunity, Hair Nerd for the braided updo, Autumn Janosov for assisting, Lex Williams for HMUA, Chris Callen for the photography and endless support, and Cody with Solventless Dreams for the badass video.
