Deuxième Vie
Saturday, April 16
Jam Handy | 2900 East Grand Blvd, Detroit.
Deuxième Vie means “second life”. It is the belief that personal fashion, music, and art are ways we present ourselves to the world without ever saying a word.
The first of three events coming to Detroit 2016, Deuxième Vie Productions Presents – in collaboration with VintageFabulosity, whose vast collection of vintage clothing includes iconic designers dating back to the early 1900’s; Detroit DJ Anthony Jasper, who’s spun Grenadier Lounge, St CeCe’s, The Yellow Wall, Russell Industrial; New York DJ Horrorchata, Drag Queen, fashion icon, founder of Be Cute, Brooklyn’s biggest underground Queer dance party, and New York DJ Ace Baron, a vinyl only kinda guy, with a passion for Electronic Music, has performed Brooklyn’s Starvue, and Outpost – a retrospective of wearable art through motion.
Deuxième Vie features new work by Detroit artist Cristin Richard, whose sculptures utilize fashion to examine the relationships between self-discovery, the passage of time, and societal connections.
Tickets: $55: Special Amuse Bouche hour, with ‘first look’ at Cristin Richard’s work, chatting up guest DJ’s. $35: At the Door Tickets $25: Advance Tickets www.deuxiemevieproductions.com
