Nordstrom — Artist Showcase, Atlanta
Selected as one of six artists invited to participate in a curated artist showcase at Nordstrom in Atlanta, Ann-Marie Yaneica presented a hand-selected capsule of wearable works created for this special occasion.
The showcase accompanied Atlanta’s edition of Dîner en Blanc, an internationally recognized cultural event that originated in Paris in 1988 and has since become a worldwide celebration of elegance, community, and visual harmony. Wikipedia
For this collaboration, a refined selection of white and gold wearable works was presented—crafted to echo the event’s aesthetic while remaining true to the artist’s visual language. Each piece was chosen for its presence, craftsmanship, and ability to belong within a highly curated environment where fashion, culture, and shared experience intersect.
The presentation marked a moment of recognition—placing wearable art in conversation with one of the world’s most visually distinctive cultural gatherings.
