Art meets fashion at this unique collaborative show featuring handmade designs and art dedicated to the notorious Dallas-based outlaws: Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.

Designer Tara Tonini will be debuting a one of a kind line of women's and men's hats and hair accessories inspired by Depression-era America. She recently received outstanding reviews from her runway looks featured in the Pin Show, Dallas' independent runway show.

Joey Seeman takes his inspiration from the work of the W.P.A. muralists and particularly the American Regionalists who told the American story during the Depression. His most recent one-man show at Canvas Gallery in Dallas followed on the heels of two successful shows in Los Angeles.

Living in Dallas, the center of many of Bonnie and Clyde's adventures, gave the pair the original inspiration for creating a tribute to the notorious outlaws. Bonnie and Clyde roamed the American countryside but always considered Dallas their home base and returned here often.

Stand By Your Man is part of the three day alternative shopping event Dallas Indie Experience which also includes Urban Street Bazaar in Bishop Arts district on Saturday Dec. 6th and Deck the Hallsat the historic South Side on Lamar building on Sunday Dec. 7th. All three shows will spotlight independent Dallas business and artists.
