The act of adornment is an intrinsic part of human culture, serving as a means of self-expression, identity, and social communication. As we move into 2026 this act continues to thrive, yet it is no longer coming from a society entranced with superficial plastic consumption but rather one that desires something much deeper.

Wearing her fur accented corset, custom patterned to fit her own body, and her hand embellished stockings, Emilie Yonker is a prime example of an artist seeking out adornment as a way to experience a certain depth of history, while learning slow technique, the value of materials, and etiquette along the way.

These beautiful items were exhibited in September for Detroit Month of Design, as part of our ongoing curatorial project 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓰𝓷 𝓫𝔂 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮. This series of exhibitions will continue to serve as a means of study, carving out space for local artists and designers to tap into our true yearnings in these complex times we are living. Stay tuned ✨

The artistic practice of Maya Davis is a reflection of a sensitive soul, taking the time and energy to cultivate the beauty around them. Many of our longings for a better world can be fulfilled by tapping in at the local level, deepening our understanding of the environment, its natural resources, and connecting with community. It’s a humble and patient endeavor with great rewards.

We are thrilled to share the artifacts of Maya’s fascinating work.

Truly individual, the creative practice is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a unique expression reflecting the artist’s own evolution in technical skills, boundaries, and the pursuit of personal satisfaction. With artisan techniques now informing his repeat pattern designs, the work of Jeremy Noonan is a true testament to this inherently magical human experience. This captivating body of work is on view through this Saturday, September 27th.

Color and Materials Designer, Melanie McClintock reveals the intimacies of materials through a research process of discovery and deep reflection.

In our profit driven world of excess, it couldn’t be any more important to have a deep understanding of materials and the ways which they are processed. From the location and methods a material is sourced, all the way to how it breaks down in its end of life. Designers carry a great responsibility in every decision they make.

Join us for the opening of
𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓰𝓷 𝓫𝔂 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮
this Friday, September 5th
at Center Galleries to view Melanie’s investigations within this dynamic, 20 person group exhibition.

Personal style, an authentic expression of the self, is a true testament to one’s desires. It has the ability to transcend time, turn heads, and make hearts skip a beat.

We are incredibly excited to share never before seen photographs from the archives of Steve Shaw
capturing the essence of extreme style in the late 1980s on film.

Join us at the opening of
𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓰𝓷 𝓫𝔂 𝓓𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓻𝓮
