An Indianapolis based artist has created a fashion collection inspired by female race car drivers. The inspiration came about when she watched a documentary on Janet Guthrie, the first female qualifier in the Indy 500.
"I just love a good theme," Emily Gartner said.
Emily is a textile artist. She makes wearable art, which is featured on bomber jackets, purses and even shoes. Her most recent collection is inspired by the Indy 500.Her work gives a nod to the 70's with bright colors, symbols and flowers. She also incorporates a black and white theme for race fans. "The Indy 500 jackets came about last year when I had seen the documentary Qualified. It was about Janet Guthrie," Emily said."I wanted to make something feminine, and that's what I did with this particular collection," she said.
"I love shooting for her," Jennifer Wilson Bibbs said."We've been shooting for two years now, non-stop, me and her. Our whole goal is to make women feel better.""I am, I have a lot. I do, I have several jackets, I have overalls. I have a shirt," Jennifer said. Emily sells her items on Etsy. She also up-cycles jackets using pieces of old lanyards, scarfs and clothing items. Pretty much anything you want to add to a jacket, she already has.
