Skingraft's Spring Line Soars at the Geffen Contemporary

Downtown Los Angeles' Geffen Contemporary Museum at MOCA hosted last night's Skingraft show, and it was the perfect space for an event that turned out to be a dazzling piece of performance art. Designers Jonny Cota and Katie Kay have transformed their Spring 2010 line from one-of-a-kind garments to a ready-to-wear collection, and the line soared with pieces inspired by Amelia Earhart and images of birds in flight. Skingraft's new look was was echoed in their models, too -- some of whom hid their long locks under wind-swept, Earhart-esque bobs. Cota was kind enough to answer some questions for PAPERMAG at the event. Check out the quick Q&A below!
