Todd Thomas: Off The Rails

The exhibition follows the audacious career of fashion designer Todd Thomas, starting with his story-like, local beginning here in Saint Louis. Currently, Thomas occupies a glittering position in the world of fashion, and he credits Saint Louis with establishing his creative foundation during the relatively brief but productive period he spent here in the early 1980s. It was the pinnacle of a kind of Do-it-Yourself Renaissance in Saint Louis, where anything was possible for young artists, clothing makers and performers, all of whom found endless inspiration in each other and what they were doing.
