Who says you can’t turn an airport into a catwalk? Get ready to be blown away by the jaw-dropping fashion spectacle, "Cadence," that’s taken over Pittsburgh International Airport. Forget the usual travel attire—this is where fashion meets flight!
In a bold move, creative director Cat Burton and up-and-coming Latin American designer Cathy Trostle-Olivar unveiled a stunning collection of six breathtaking dresses, running through March 25 at the airport. This glam runway show began on Sept. 30, marking the start of a new era both in fashion and in Burton’s life as she embarks on the thrilling journey of her 30s.
The collection isn’t just about fashion; it’s a narrative of emotions, change, and exhilarating new beginnings. With an intriguing backstory, it all started with a collaboration between Burton and Trostle-Olivar at a museum exhibition in 2022. The creative sparks flew, leading to fashion magic at this event.
Sustainability is key for Trostle-Olivar, who used leftover fabrics and thrifted treasures like hats, crafting each piece in luscious natural fibers such as silk and bamboo knit. “Blooming Artist” is a show-stopper, a stunning black dress that encapsulates the excitement and self-confidence of new beginnings, while “Imposter Syndrome” surprises with a dramatic outfit reveal that’ll leave you breathless. And that’s not all—get ready to be inspired by the all-white ensemble “The Veil” and the power-packed “Carrying the Weight.”
Trostle-Olivar and Burton have created a collection that’s not just fashion; it’s a connection, an artistic representation of the times we live in. This assembly of creativity is not only a visual spectacle but a message to those searching for that profound piece in life.
The "Cadence" collection is waiting for you on the airport’s landside terminal, transit level, until March 2025. Don’t miss the chance to witness this elegant triumph of design and emotion in one of the most unlikely places! Can fashion truly take flight? This is your chance to find out!
