During New York Fashion Week, Canadian designer Jason Wu unveiled his latest collection in a Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse, but the runway show was preceded by a ten-piece installation of screen prints by American artist Robert Rauschenberg, on loan from the Rauschenberg Foundation. Wu spent months researching the artist's archive, focusing on the little-studied Hoarfrost series, and incorporated image transfers from 1970s newspapers and magazines into his garments. The show also featured other designer-art crossovers, including Proenza Schouler's debut under Rachel Scott at Olney Gleason gallery and Ashlynn Park's presentation at the International Center of Photography alongside works by Iranian artist Sheida Soleimani.
