Poolside Poets March 2025

Poets took the stage in head-to-toe denim—frayed, glittered, and reimagined—turning the Phoenix into a blue-jean dreamscape.

J.EHREN x Piles of SF: A Garbage Age Runway (GA)** **took place on January 25 at MAG Galleries, closing out the _Art and Fashion in the Garbage Age_ exhibit with a bold statement—runway fashion made entirely from San Francisco street trash.
The evening featured two runway walks of the same set of looks, crafted by designer J.EHREN and presented by Piles Collective. Guests gathered outside the gallery on 18th Street for the general admission standing show, while a select few experienced an immersive, seated view inside.
Live music by Taiwanese-American artist Roziht filled the space between shows, adding a moody, textural layer to the night. As a multi-instrumentalist and improviser, her performance amplified the experimental, boundary-pushing energy of the event.
Donations supported the artists, and the evening served as a celebration of repurposing, creativity, and street-born couture in the heart of San Francisco.


Piles Garbage Age Fashion and Art Finale

Trash turned couture on the catwalk! Guests watched runway looks made from SF street garbage strut with glam, grit, and guts.

The Garbage Age Fashion and Art opening reception took place on January 3 at MAG Galleries, launching a month-long exploration of beauty in waste. Presented by Piles Collective and MAG, the exhibit showcased garments, jewelry, sculptures, and furniture crafted from San Francisco street trash, alongside haunting still life photographs of discarded objects.

Artists Juliane Roberts Hansen, Joey Ehrenberg, Liz Cahill, Paul Reginato, Kelsie Jones, and Edie Trautwein reimagined urban debris into elegance, joined by contributions from Amieliana Rivero and Samantha Alexa. Paula Karolak accompanied the evening with a live viola performance.

The exhibit was followed by a series of community-focused events, including artist talks, upcycled textile workshops, and a runway show celebrating sustainable fashion.


Piles Fashion and Art in the Garbage Age

Guests flaunted couture from the curb—trash turned treasure in a decadent runway of urban decay, glammed-up grit, and repurposed radiance.

Dress code: Cozy Cunt 🐩👠We will be outside and it will be cold so dress for success in this climate but be ready to take off the layers for the afterparty.

What is cunty, you may ask? For starters, cunt was a vulgar term historically used to tear down women, but recently has been reclaimed by gen z and any other daring individuals looking for a specific way to identify their style and self. To be cunt is to be bitchy, bratty, and everything iconic. Other icons in the cunt category would be Julia Fox, Britney Spears and that girl Suki from Fast and Furious.

Humandala Fashion Show – Hah Couture @ Dojo SF
 📍 The Dojo SF, Mission District, San Francisco
 📅 Saturday, August 19 | 8:00 PM – 11:30 PM PT
The Dojo SF came alive for the **Humandala Fashion Show**, an unforgettable evening of art, fashion, and community. Hosted in the Mission at one of San Francisco’s newest creative venues, the event spotlighted the work of **Hah Holton**—a Bay Area native fashion designer and painter known for her use of upcycled materials and innovative techniques.
Hah’s dreamy couture was modeled by dancers who delivered spontaneous pop-up performances throughout the night. Select hand-crafted pieces were made available for purchase—and quickly sold out.
Guests experienced:
 ✨ Visionary fashion and riveting artwork
 🎶 DJ sets from **DJ Niya.O**, **DJ Xzakt**, and **DJ K-Luh**
 🍴 Nourishing food and elixirs for purchase
 🛋 A cozy lounge space for mingling
 📸 “Fashion Paparazzi” moments captured by the legendary **Michael Hruska** and rising photographer **Randi Phrunell**
Attendees dressed boldly, inspired by Hah’s designs, bringing high fashion energy into a warm, art-forward setting.
**About Hah:**
 A lifelong explorer of the body-soul connection, Hah transforms personal and collective pain into wearable art. Every piece she creates is hand-sewn and hand-painted, carrying deep care, intention, and story.
**About The Dojo SF:**
 The Dojo is a Mission-based gallery focused on accessibility, community, and artistic innovation. With a mission to cultivate creativity and challenge the norms of contemporary gallery spaces, The Dojo continues to host boundary-pushing exhibitions and events.
Huge thanks to all who showed up, showed out, and supported this vibrant night of sustainable fashion and soulful art.

In 2022 Liz Cahill, Kelsie Jones and Julianne Roberts Hansen produced thier first fashion show together as a team. Liz invited Jeremy Salazar who at the time went by HappyxLoxo to spend a month at Uzay Gallery and create a collection on-site and present it for a runway fashion show. The team cast modeled from a mix of friends and community members. Kelsie led models and runway choreography. Julianne led makeup and styling. Liz led production. Pyam Imani was booked to DJ as well as James Julius. Corbo (mot.physics) live scored the runway. The space was packed and the energy electric that night. The show hit at a time just as we were emerging from COVID-19. There was a hunger for community and culture as well as nothing much else going on so everyone showed up. Capturing the moment Anoah Wang produced a mini documentary on the event: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J113Y6ChUPo>
