Arktura partners with Form Architects at the 9th Annual Cosmo Couture

Arktura participated in the 9^th annual Cosmo Couture charity function that took place this year on the night of September 20^th at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. This annual event offers a unique opportunity for Architects and Interior Designers to collaborate with manufacturing partners in the construction of elegant gowns, creating a bridge between fashion and architecture.

Each year the theme changes and reflects a concept meant to inspire creativity and design. This year’s theme was Lore: a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.

Arktura collaborated with Form Architects, contributing specially formed and cut pieces of our Soft Sound^® acoustical material that went into constructing a custom gown. Form Architects chose Soft Sound^® to embody the idea of a siren’s song and design a stunning draped garment that glided down the runway.

The Soft Sound^® material was transformed into triangular shapes and jeweled with screws to add a glimmer. The colors transitioned from a deep blue to a nude, appearing as a dynamic progression as the model captivated the audience.

A special thanks to Form Architects for their collaboration and the Washington Metro City Center of the International Interior Design Association Mid-Atlantic Chapter for presenting Cosmo Couture. We are happy to be a part of a charity event that gives back to designers like Livi Pejo. Find out more at http://www.iidamac.org/cosmo/
