“The Fabric of Austin” is an art exhibition produced by Central Texas Fashion Coalition, highlighting the independent and local fashion industry. Through a historical and hyperlocal lens, the exhibition showcases the breadth of Austin’s style — from past influences to the work of today’s designers and stylists. Visitors will see individual displays from local creatives alongside a visual archive of iconic neighborhood archetypes, each representing distinct cultural styles. A printed timeline traces Austin’s fashion culture from its early roots to its future directions. The two-day exhibition opens with an evening reception featuring light bites, drinks, music, and a short talk from local anthropologists and style figures, with participating designers present to share their work.
