| Fabio Costa's design |
Fabio Costa, Season 10 contestant and designer for Not
Equal, will have some of his work on display at the American Folk Art Museum in
New York for their exhibit Folk Couture.
Folk Couture
brings together designers and asks them to create a garment inspired by the
folk art in the museum collection.
 |
| Sacred Heart of Jesus Inspiration |
Fabio created a beautiful white capelet, pants, and
overskirt with a matching wide brim hat. His chosen inspiration was The Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Tree of Life white work quilt. The
large woodwork Sacred Heart of Jesus
is displayed behind the garment.
 |
| Tree of Life Quilt Inspiration |
The pattern on The
Tree of Life quilt is reflected in the quilting on the skirt and capelet.
Fabio understands the motif as the center of life, and the sacred heart as the
ultimate symbol of the Immaculate Conception, which is an abundant symbol in
his native Brazil.
Folk Couture runs now til April 23rd.
