Root 2 Fruit Festival: A Fusion of Art and Wellness.

The Root 2 Fruit Festival, Forbidden Fruit’s largest event to date, welcomed around 200 attendees to the One Art Community Center in West Philadelphia’s Carroll Park neighborhood. This free festival nurtured the mind, body, and spirit through a dynamic mix of activities, including beginner-friendly wellness sessions like reiki and yoga, live music performances by groups like PhilHarmonia, and immersive art displays. The event’s focus on creative wellness created a unique environment that bridged art and healing, offering a transformative setting for Portraits de Famille to present our exclusive fashion-inspired artwork.

By showcasing our work in this setting, we connected with a diverse audience of art lovers and wellness seekers, offering a glimpse into how exclusive fashion can transcend traditional boundaries. This event highlighted our commitment to creating rare fashion that inspires creativity and fosters meaningful connections.

Why This Partnership Aligns with Our Vision.

Founded by Tyra "Crux" Jones-Blain and Stonez the Organic, Forbidden Fruit has curated over 100 events and featured 500+ artists since 2019, becoming a beacon of creative wellness globally. Their mission to "Free the Forbidden" by empowering artists and art lovers through transformative experiences aligns perfectly with Portraits de Famille’s values. We’re honored to be part of this festival, which not only celebrates art and wellness but also bridges the gap between these disciplines, reflecting the future of fashion where creativity and community intersect. This partnership underscores our role in shaping the future of exclusivity in fashion.

A Transformative Experience at One Art Community Center.

The Root 2 Fruit Festival took place at One Art Community Center, a cultural hub in West Philadelphia known for hosting events that foster community engagement. From 2-7 pm ET on September 14, 2024, attendees enjoyed a variety of activities, including guided meditations, free massages, and local vendor stalls, all while DJs played sets and artists performed. Portraits de Famille’s artwork complemented this dynamic atmosphere, offering a visual representation of how exclusive fashion can inspire wellness and creativity. The event’s holistic approach made it a perfect platform for us to engage with a broader community in a meaningful way.

Bridging Art and Wellness for the Future of Fashion.

The Root 2 Fruit Festival emphasized the connection between art and wellness, a concept that resonates deeply with Portraits de Famille’s mission. As Forbidden Fruit co-founder Tyra Jones-Blain noted, “Artists sometimes forget that wellness is a part of the entire practice.” By integrating wellness sessions with art displays, the festival created a space where attendees could explore both creativity and self-care. Our artwork, inspired by the principles of exclusive fashion, contributed to this dialogue, showcasing how fashion can nurture the collective consciousness and redefine the future of exclusivity in fashion.

Why Root 2 Fruit Redefines Exclusive Fashion Experiences.

Our participation in the Root 2 Fruit Festival highlights how exclusive fashion brands can create transformative experiences beyond traditional clothing. Unlike typical fashion events, this festival offered a community-driven setting where our rare fashion-inspired artwork could shine alongside wellness activations. This approach aligns with our slow fashion ethos, emphasizing quality, authenticity, and connection over mass production. By showcasing at Root 2 Fruit, we’re contributing to the future of fashion, where exclusivity is about meaningful experiences that foster creativity and community engagement, not just limited quantities.
