Soft Armor — Collection Unveiling & Art Installation

​Soft Armor is a grant-funded fashion installation and runway performance by Crochet Haus.

​Featuring 13 hand-crocheted sculptural garments and a walk-able art installation, Soft Armor explores softness as protection through an immersive runway experience. Each piece is constructed over weeks — forming a physical and emotional armor rooted in care, intimacy, and strength.

​Presented inside the Tandy Garden at Central Library in downtown Tulsa, the performance transforms the space into a fashion exhibition where garment, body, and environment exist as one.

​🅿️ Free parking available in the garage.

​👗 Dress Code: Modern Armor & Soft Textures In honor of Soft Armor, we invite you to dress in a way that feels like your own sanctuary. Think: Structured silhouettes paired with soft knits, bold leathers with flowing silks, or your most powerful 'uniform' softened by your favorite accessory.

​This project is supported by Thrive Grants, an initiative of Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) in partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. ThriveGrants.org
