The RICHARDANDPETRA exhibition focuses on the power of local collaboration within the immediate Houston fashion / art community. RICHARDANDGRACE & PetraStellam share taste, aesthetics and design vision. From both brands point of view, there's power in numbers through the democratization of information. Expect activations, an artist talk and gallery viewing opportunity each week for the month of May.

In 2019, PetraStellam launched in a fashion-deprived community, aiming to celebrate unique identities through captivating collections. Their journey has honed a deep appreciation for narrative-driven designs, aspiring to empower individuals to authentically express themselves through fashion, leaving a lasting mark beyond trends.

Founder of Richardandgrace (2017), Josh Allen is a multidisciplinary artist with a Bachelor degree in fashion / business from Johnson & Wales University. Born and raised in Houston Tx, the inspiration behind his work is connecting the languages of minimal abstract art and brutalist architecture with contemporary fashion design.

Monogram - Chaos and crises can often bring individuals together in unexpected circumstances. When faced with a common threat or challenge, people often set aside their differences and work together to overcome the chaos fostering empathy, cooperation, and a sense of shared purpose and resilience.

Abstract art provides a unique and flexible medium for exploring the concept of the unification of chaos. By using contrasting colors, textures, and shapes, as well as incorporating symbolism and depth, Richardandgrace can create a powerful visual representation of this idea.
