j.morgan puett - part two: clothing & stores

from 1984 to circa 2001
J.Morgan Puett designed seasonal clothing collections
based on early American textiles
and contemporary styling.


her retail spaces in Manhatten were like art installations,
with industrial props, old rocking chairs,
curtains dipped in beeswax - an exploration of rural
and artisanal references present
in her clothing.

we'd like to have seen them.

transformed beautifully - a living working environment
for artists to collaborate and learn

surroundings becoming art
art becoming surroundings
constantly evolving
