Solo Show. The centerpiece of the exhibition is six outfits - worn by models at the opening made from black, blue and orange lace, evoking the brilliantly colored Swiss and Belgian-manufactured lace garments prized by West African communities today. The collection consists of two "hoodies", a pair of corsets and mini-skirts, a jean-style jacket and trousers, and a customized version of the black lace dress worn by Goya's celebrated "Duchess of Alba" (1797).
