Acres Of Untold History — an exhibit by fashion designer Chelsey Carter-Sanders where she invites us to experience an expressive tribute to the pages of history many are unaware of. Through her love for storytelling, she uses her medium of Denim to paint a textured picture of African Americans’ contribution in American History. This installation will coincide with her Spring 2023 capsule collection, “Fields”.
Carter’s capsule is both literal and meaningful, celebrating the richness of African American culture and remembering the fields where cotton was picked. Fields represents the birthplace of fresh ideas at the intersection of innovation and homage. Made from 100’s of up-cycled denim, the Alex Carter brand uses a vehicle of sustainability to propel this creative story.
