WORK/WEAR: How Tulsa Could Be the Next Fashion Capital

Experience a unique blend of history, craftsmanship, and innovation at WORK/WEAR presented by BZRO Clothing, a pop-up museum and shop exploring the global journey of denim—from Indigenous and African contributions to its rise as an American icon.

Learn how Tulsa, with its rich heritage and entrepreneurial spirit, could become a leader in sustainable clothing. Emmy Award-winning puppeteer and designer David Bizzaro will share untold stories of denim and debut Tulsa’s first seed-to-stitch denim jacket, crafted with natural indigo dyes.

Engage with the artistry up close: touch handwoven denim, explore a working loom, and even weave a line of fabric. Shop exclusive pieces and leave inspired by how tradition and innovation intersect to shape Tulsa’s potential as a fashion capital. This event is a call to action for local makers and dreamers to reclaim the art of textile creation and shape the future of sustainable fashion.
