JRAT Pop-Up @ Veronica
“Buy now, or buy never!”
Friday, March 29th 6-9PM
Saturday, March 30th 12-6PM
Janelle Abbott, the artist behind JRAT, will be at Veronica for a special 2-day pop-up featuring one-of-one, zero waste, handmade garments from past and present collections. Come by and see the work IRL, and if it strikes your fancy, adopt a garment at what’s sure to be an unbeatable price!
Bio: Janelle Abbott was born into the fashion industry—her parents owned a clothing manufacturing company where they produced Tencel garments in Seattle for over 20 years. This early exposure to the behind the scenes of garment production gave Janelle a sense of reverence for the labor involved in creating clothing. She received a BFA in fashion design from Parsons School of Design in 2012. In the face of the exploitive labor and environmental damage perpetrated by corporate fashion, Janelle decided to carve her own path—one committed to upcycling, sustainability, hand craft, and the zero waste design methodology. Densely pleated, boldly clashing, and unexpectedly rhythmic, Janelle’s work is scrappy, unapologetic, and a testament to just how much time and energy it takes for real humans to manufacture and produce every consumer product we engage with.
