Couture Alchemy
Couture:

Alchemy:
magically transforming common matter into great value
In 2018, Amy Luna began creating sustainable fine art from pre-owned clothing. Inspired by her training as a tour guide for the UNESCO World Heritage site, Unity Temple, Amy Luna applied Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture philosophy “form and function are one” to elegant clothing designed for the comfort and mobility of the unique weare. Influenced by bold, vibrant ethnic clothing from around the world, her singular creations celebrate art, nature, epic stories, inspiring icons, diverse cultures, fantasy and fun.
