About

Nashville Alternative Fashion:

Alternative Visual Subculture.

Nashville Alternative Fashion’s goals are:

1. To provide an environment that encourages alternative visual art (especially “fashion”). This includes:

a. all forms of “alternative” fashion and subcultures, street fashion, Japanese street fashion, couture-style clothing, “wearable art”, altered clothing, and handmade clothing and accessories.

b. Juxtapose Magazine-style artwork, urban art, fashion illustrations, anime-inspired artwork, “crafting”, and altered clothing.

2. To host events where people can get together and dress however elaborate, strange, gothic, girly, etc. as they want to.

3. To provide a place for people to explore Japanese (and global) street fashions, such as gyaru, Harajuku, lolita, visual kei, etc.

4. To encourage an environment where people can share what they’re passionate about, and where people can share and learn about visually thrilling subcultures.

5. To encourage people (especially those in alternative visual subculture) to share and sell their art and craftwork, and to provide events and resources where they can do so.

6. To provide workshops (such as crafting, screenprinting, sewing, jewelrymaking) and art shows/fashion shows where the artist can show off their work, sell it, and get paid cash money for it.
