Robert Lange Studios Presents:

A Night of Fashion and Art

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (May 13, 2007) — Designer Rachel Gordon and painter Robert Lange team-up for a night of fashion-meets-art at Robert Lange Studios Gallery in downtown Charleston, SC.

On May 19, 2007 Gordon will present her ready to wear Summer 2007 collection with a runway show. There will be over 20 pieces in the show including everything from bathing suites to Gordon’s signature plunging neckline dresses. The backdrop for the show will be a series of paintings by Lange.

“Fashion has always been mixed with art,” Lange says. “For the last few years I’ve been asking Rachel if I can borrow her dresses for model shoots for paintings. It seems only appropriate that her collection launch should be in our gallery.

The show will be held in Robert Lange Studios upstairs space. Where the runway, created out of oriental rugs will wrap through the gallery. The models, including many local women that Lange has created paintings of for the show, will strut to DJ Belk’s mixing.

“My dresses capture the quintessential lines of a women in the same way that Robert’s paintings do,” Gordon said. “With each brushstroke he carves out a beautiful image on canvas. I use fabric and stitching to compliment the curves of a women’s body.”

Both artists will be in attendance starting at 7:00 PM. There will be complimentary drinks and food for all to enjoy. Please call for more information and to schedule fittings with the designer. 843.805.8052

Rachel Gordon premiered her new line at the Robert Lange Studios. The turnout was incredible and the designs very impressive. Do we have yet another Project Runway candidate in our midst? Love that she is local and her line is so chic!
