In celebration of the Eldorado Ballroom Spring Music Series at BAM, Saint Heron, the multidisciplinary platform aiming to amplify varieties of art in design, music, and literature founded by Solange Knowles, has announced a partnership with English fashion designer Grace Wales Bonner, who founded her brand Wales Bonner following her graduation from Central Saint Martins in 2014.
Consisting of a collaborative capsule t-shirt, the special piece aims to build documentation of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) 2023 spring music series, Eldorado Ballroom, curated by Solange Knowles for Saint Heron.
“One of the core purposes of creating Saint Heron was to establish archives for future generations to experience and reflect on the histories that continue to inform and inspire artistry of today and the future,” explains Saint Heron founder and Creative Director Solange Knowles in a statement. “We are immensely grateful and proud to be collaborating with Wales Bonner in this mission as we share an ongoing commitment to research, rediscovery and archival preservation.”
“It has been very special for me to gather around the musical and artistic traditions celebrated at the Eldorado Ballroom series,” states designer Grace Wales Bonner. “I cherish these moments of togetherness where the archive enables us to look forward with a new light and I am very grateful to Solange and Saint Heron for inviting me to participate.”
The limited-edition capsule t-shirt will be available exclusively on saintheron.com and walesbonner.net on May 22nd at 10 AM EST / 2 PM GMT.
