A performance art meets fashion show meets art installation, New Land of Milk and Honey is an ambitious project from a trio of designers. The press release has the group exploring such seemingly unrelated topics as communal living, electronic sleep, synesthesia, technicolor, prenatal learning and chronobiology. A bit out-there and lofty, sure, but designers Annie Larson, Brett Smith and Erin Smith all have sturdy reputations. Larson, a onetime Target designer and Voltage alum, is well regarded in the local fashion community for her innovative designs and impeccable construction skills. She'll debut her all-new line of brightly colored, multi-patterned knit sweaters, leggings and onesies (think Gap on crack). For their part, it's a sure bet that brother-and-sister team Brett and Erin Smith will bring their skills as sculptor/installation artist and product designer, respectively. Opening reception 7-11 p.m. Sat 2/20.
