Hickok Cole Architects & Bacon Veneer - Cosmo Couture
Last Thursday night the famous Cosmo Couture was held at the Artisphere in Arlington, Virginia. The show featured a direct collaboration between local Architecture and Interior Design firms and their manufacturing partners in the Washington DC area, to create garments reflecting a given theme. The garments were judged during the runway show and awards were given to design teams in different categories. The beneficiary for this year’s event was My Sister’s Place. Please enjoy a couple photos from the event, taken by Kimball Office...
