ART+STYLE – ALMOST ALCHEMY POP UP @ SLATE CONTEMPORARY

Meet designer Chrisbaby Ferrara and check out his one-of-one designs at this shoppable pop-up within Slate Contemporary Gallery.

Almost Alchemy stands as a testament to the power of serendipity, creativity, resilience, and the beauty found in reimagining the discarded. Born to a 15-year-old single mother, Chrisbaby’s early life lessons in resourcefulness and adaptability shaped his artistic vision for his brand. Through meticulous handcrafting and design, Chrisbaby transmutes overlooked items into sought-after, high-functioning pieces of art. He also offers personalized experiences where you can work with him in person at his patchwork house in Oakland to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your style and experiences at an affordable rate. In addition to selling clothes online, Chrisbaby takes donations, commissions, and offers live sewing, tailoring and alterations at music festivals, pop-ups, and concerts. This process serves as a compelling critique of fast fashion, mass production, and classism in America, presenting a sustainable and imaginative alternative.
