Hot New Fashion Art Launches in Miami

MIAMI - April 29, 2015 - PRLog -- ARTKTR (pronounced “art∙couture”) is a collaborative and experimental platform of artistic expression that employs the use of unconventional and discarded or found materials to design elegant, authentic and sophisticated fashion art.

As childhood friends growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Villegas and Diaz would spend hours talking and drawing. Villegas, architect, artist and designer, has his multimedia artwork featured in galleries, museums and private collections around the world. Diaz, fashion illustrator and storyboard artist, has worked with many renowned brands, including L’Oreal, Chanel and H&M. They have both reunited to create these wonderful pieces, some of which feature additional artwork inside.

In addition to ARTKTR’s current collection, they also offer “a simple and dynamic website [to] guide you step by step on how ARTKTR can deconstruct and repurpose your favorite shoe box in a one of a kind couture purse or clutch and beyond,” said Lola of Showroom Two, referring to ARTKTR’s easy process to commission your own piece.

We agree, Lola: that’s a good thing! At the rate the ARTKTR collection is flying off the shelves, it’s good to know that, for those in the know who are looking for that handmade, one-of-a-kind object of desire, ARTKTR’s Villegas and Diaz are ready.
