An illuminated encore of Fashion Meets Finish, celebrating past garments through lighting, design, and creative collaboration.
Fashion Meets Finish: Spotlight is an illuminated encore celebrating the creativity, craftsmanship, and collaboration behind IIDA PND’s Fashion Meets Finish.
Hosted during Design Philadelphia, this gallery-style exhibition will bring past Fashion Meets Finish garments back into the spotlight and reimagine them through lighting. Each garment will be paired with lighting designers and manufacturer partners to create a new installation experience that highlights the materiality, detail, and story behind the work.
Guests can expect an elevated, exhibition-style evening featuring past Fashion Meets Finish garments, creative lighting concepts, design community connection, and a fresh look at the talent behind one of IIDA PND’s most celebrated events.
This event is an opportunity to experience Fashion Meets Finish in a new way — beyond the runway — while celebrating the designers, makers, manufacturers, and industry partners who bring these pieces to life.
Whether you attended the original Fashion Meets Finish events or are experiencing the garments for the first time, Fashion Meets Finish: Spotlight invites you to see the work through a new lens.
