JESSICA RAE FREED, 24
Seamstress, fiber artist
Seen at: The Teenage Elixir show at Tarnish & Gold Gallery in Minneapolis.
What are you wearing? Sweater and boots from Savers. Black military tube dress from Buffalo Exchange, altered into a high-waist tulip skirt. Plaid mock-houndstooth cape by ComeAlongFawn.
Describe your style: Eclectic, feminine, DIY.
How do you combine art and fashion? Fashion has a better outcome if you think about it like art. Piecing together outfits is like working on a collage to me.
Which artist's style reflects your own? Anyone who incorporates symmetry and texture and uses elements differently than they should be used. A specific example is a modern eclectic artist in Atlanta named Cora Seymour.
What was one of your favorite nights out?: The Brother Ali New Year's show was amazing. Dada Trash Collage was DJ-ing in the VIP room with complimentary champagne and massages. Not to mention, there were confetti cannons. It was a good end to the year, for sure.
