Details
Ashlyn So’s project transforms the gallery into a hybrid space of exhibition, studio, and storytelling platform. Visitors can view a curated display of couture garments, process materials, and editorial photography, or drop in during designated open studio hours to observe and interact with the artist as she actively engages in her design process in real time. Because the installation is designed to evolve as new works-in-progress are created, visitors returning at different times may encounter new stages of the process.
Dive into a vibrant world of colors and creativity at the Recolored Collection Exhibition, where art comes alive in every shade on Thursday, June 25th from 5:30 PM-7:30 PM at 836M!
About Ashlyn So
Ashlyn So is a teen fashion designer and activist whose work operates at the intersection of couture, storytelling, and social impact. As Creative Director of her namesake brand, her practice is rooted in the belief that fashion can be a powerful medium for dialogue—one that challenges perceptions, amplifies underrepresented voices, and fosters empathy across cultures and communities.
Ashlyn’s work has been featured in Vogue and Teen Vogue, and she has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Tamron Hall Show. She is a YoungArts Winner with Distinction, a recipient of the People’s Choice Award, and her work has been the subject of an Emmy Award-winning ABC short documentary.
About the Work
Her collections often explore themes such as identity, visibility, mental health, and environmental responsibility. Through avant-garde silhouettes and detailed craftsmanship, she creates garments that function as both personal expression and collective narrative. For Ashlyn, fashion is not only about beauty, but about meaning in which each piece is an opportunity to tell a story, spark conversation, and inspire change.
