Fashion as Visual Art: TGL emphasizes that fashion is a form of visual art. From conceptual illustration to garment construction, the entire design process is treated as an artistic endeavor. Fashion isn’t just functional; it’s a form of creative expression. Fashion Illustration: Illustration is a key component of the fashion design process and is taught as an essential skill at TGL. Through sketching and digital tools, designers bring their creative visions to life, and TGL showcases this artistic form in its programs and events. Creative Showcases: Events like Phoenix Swim Week, On Central, and Phoenix Man feature collections that serve as visual art for the community, allowing designers to present their works in high-production runway environments. These events highlight the artistry in fashion design, from the conceptual phase to the final presentation. Collaborations: Partnerships with entities such as the Phoenix Art Museum and Roosevelt Row extend the understanding of fashion as a visual art form, incorporating it into wider artistic and cultural conversations. Key: Positions fashion as a core element of the visual arts, emphasizing illustration and construction as vital artistic disciplines, and provides platforms for creative expression.
