Arizona Costume Institute invites Benefactor Members to a tour of the fashion studio at Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts with special guests Gabriel Asfour (b. Lebanon) and Adi Gil (b. Israel) of artist collective threeASFOUR.
threeASFOUR is a trio of transnational artists based in New York City who use fashion as their primary medium. Founded in 2005 by Gabriel Asfour (b. Lebanon), Angela Donhauser (b. U.S.S.R) and Adi Gil (b. Israel), the collective has built a legacy of fusing cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship to create clothing at the intersection of fashion and art. Drawing their core aesthetic from the universal languages of sacred geometry, threeASFOUR is devoted to the creative exploration of themes of consciousness and cultural coexistence.
