The Bay: Creators of Style is a photographic study of the independent clothing, jewelry, handbag, and hat designer community. This cross-section of 48 companies represent the best and most well known names in haute couture and ready to wear. Bay Area darlings like Christopher Collins, Camelia Skikos, Daniel Sudar, Joseph Domingo, Nooworks, and FluffyCo show their true personalities in these black and white portraits revealing the heart and soul behind their brands. While other cities tout themselves as capitals of fashion, Bay Area designers are so much more. They are committed to their community’s morals and standards and operate their businesses on
principles of eco-friendly and “made in America.” These principles are what make them unique and position them opposite the flood of mass-produced, outsourced, and cheaply made products on the market. This ethic is the core of what Bay Area fashion design is all about.

About the photographer
Born in Canada, Liz Caruana studied Cinema at the University of Toronto, embracing the idea of creating images that tell stories. She went on to work on feature films until transitioning to photography upon her move to San Francisco in 2004. In 2010, Liz Caruana was awarded San Francisco’s Best Fashion Photographer. Regarding this art show Caruana stated “The Bay Area has such talented designers, I wanted to share who these creative forces were.”

An 8.5x6 boutique photo book titled The Bay: Creators of Style accompanies the exhibition. The publication includes 61? black and white images and personal stories from the designers. It is available for pre-order until Dec. 5, 2012 with limited copies available for sale at the reception.
