An event where maritime history meets childhood memory, folklore, and contemporary design in the work of Austin Korth. As the show progresses, set against the backdrop of an 1885 tall ship's masts and rigging, you will see how the collection draws inspiration from the golden age of seafaring and the rugged landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Watch the visual language of life at sea take on new forms as weathered sails, sailors' tattoos, fishing nets, shoreline treasures, nautical chinaware, and Victorian sailor uniforms are reimagined as unexpected elements of modern garments. Each piece evokes an artifact from an imagined past--a relic shaped by memory, myth, and life along the water. An opportunity to explore a collection that bridges the Oregon coast of the designer's childhood with the maritime legacy of New York, where clothing becomes a vessel for stories carried across time and place. Following the show, models will disperse throughout the ship to allow attendees to get a closer look at the work. Surrounded by ship's historic decks, this is your chance to experience a fashion collection in a setting that brings its maritime inspiration vividly to life. Access involves climbing a few stairs, walking up an angled gangway, and descending a few stairs onto the deck. The lower decks are accessible via stairs, while the upper deck requires navigating steep ladder-like stairs. Seating is limited and not guaranteed. All seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
