Braisha Owens (Kissed by BO) brought THE HOMECOMING | RUNWAY TO REALITY to Art x Love’s downtown Akron studio and gallery for an intimate wearable art + shopping experience celebrating the return of Going to War for My Dreams II from New York Fashion Week. This show included exclusive artwork and designs from Kissed by BO, helping invigorate the space as a vibrant and inspiring backdrop for everyone.
Attendees were invited to touch, try on, style and shop ready-to-wear, original wearable art, tees, accessories, one-of-one designs, limited pieces and select made-to-order styles. People got to experience the craftsmanship and stories behind the collection, and while getting an exclusive glimpse of what’s next for Kissed by Bo.
This event was an empowering and inspiring show of creative force, faith, and community. Check out the runway photos from Josh Land (L-Squared Photos) below and contact Kissed by Bo to learn more and shop the collection.
