Our friend, the artist Robin Barcus-Slonina, creates spectacular sculpture-garments, each inspired by the place where she’s living and working. With a home base in Las Vegas and a semi-nomadic life with her husband, a master clown with Cirque de Soleil, she has had some fantastic locations to inspire her. In 2009, while my family and I traveled in Morocco for a month, Barcus-Slonina used our Gowanus studio to create her New York City dress. http://www.stateofdress.blogspot.com/

And now, her work is featured on the Yahoo homepage. http://yhoo.it/9X5Ts1
