Presented during New York Fashion Week, Rainbow Shoe Repair: An Unexpected Theater of Flyness is an exhibition and event series that considers how Lower East Side residents utilized a local photo studio to document community, fashion, and self-expression. Experience this special moment in LES history and create your own with a portrait taken by Ilya Shaulov, one of the original Rainbow Shoe Repair photographers at the opening reception.
A selection of portraits will be installed outdoors around the Henry Street Settlement campus, produced and presented in partnership with United Photo Industries. Original photographs will also be on view at Abrons Arts Center.
