Gatherings

In a fire-lit backyard tucked into two acres of cedar and open sky, people arrived and did something quietly radical: they put on color they had never worn before, and then they moved in it. Musicians picked up instruments in shades that made them want to play louder.

At Rapid Rhythms my Cosmic Bodies Planetary collection stepped off the traditional runway and into motion for a Celestial Bodies Fashion Dance. Fashion sported by the dancers who show up week after week, trusting their bodies, their curiosity, and one another.

When our hands touched, I thought of my childhood heroes—Captain Planet, Power Rangers, Star Trek—and realized: it doesn’t take a stadium. It just takes a few willing to shine their light brightly. When a small group shows intention, something else forms between them.
