TAGLYAN CULTURAL COMPLEX ART HEARTS FASHION RUNWAY SPRING/SUMMER 2015 COLLECTIONSBidding adieu to Lincoln Center last February 19, 2015, Art Hearts Fashion invited designers to unveil their latest collection in this group fashion show that supports the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

House of LiJon, a label started by artist Lia Mira in January 2011 presented a high energy collection that featured bold patterns and the brand’s signature hand crafted wearable couture armor. The sensual and high-fashion pieces were unlike anything on the runway before.

For artist Lia Mira, the sculpted couture House of LiJon began with a vision, some rings and a pair of pliers. After researching the medieval craftsmanship of chain-mail, and getting inspiration from everyday clothing and jewelry design, she began the ambitious intense process of teaching herself a forgotten craft.

Her goal…to create one of a kind Chainmail Armor Couture for the fashion forward and art collectors around the world!
