ABOUT POLLEN
POLLEN is the culmination of the LaLu brand values: Engagement with Community, Appreciation of Beauty, and Equity in Intersectionality.
POLLEN is a Fashion Show that endeavors above all to "cross-pollinate" by featuring work from diverse Artists, collaborating with Seattle Small Businesses, and partnering with Local Nonprofits. This season we are partnered with the Slip Gallery/Belltown Art Walk Nonprofit whose programming creates artistic opportunities in Seattle.
Each part of the show features diverse Fashion Artists and Models whose identities represent our intersectional community in racial diversity, gender expression, sexuality, varied abilities, and body inclusivity.
The Spring/Summer edition of POLLEN is three shows wrapped up into one, check out the schedule!
