Project Tunic

Wari inspiration meets 21st-century fashion in Project Tunic, a runway show of clothing inspired by this ancient Andean culture. Three finalists will have their designs displayed in the museum’s new Atrium after the runway show! Join judges Valerie Mayen, former Project Runway contestant and owner of Yellowcake, fashion blogger Jessica Noelle of Midwest Muse, Tina Cassara of the Cleveland Institute of Art, and the CMA’s own Sue Bergh, curator of Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes as they choose the best Wari-inspired designs.
