Northside designer Suz Pisano helped to create this “Rust to Dust” dress for the 2022 Pittsburgh Earth Day Ecolution Fashion Gala, held at the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer on April 13.

The theme for this year’s event was “Earth Matters Now: For The World We Dream Of & The World We Have Now.”

Pisano’s dress, modeled by Mrs. Pennsylvania American 2021-2022 Rachel Rakovan, was made by screen printing photographs onto silk material: Photographs are by Robert Strovers and collage work by Jody Shell.
