Art Dirt: Talking Garments, Fashion & Craft Schools with Ashley Lee

William Sarradet talks with Dallas-based fashion designer Ashley Lee about fashion, textile works, and how to approach craft schools across Texas. "The lines between art, design, and crafts get quite blurry these days. I tend to think of fashion more as a design form. It can be a craft — there are definitely elements of craft in it — but overall, I view it more as a design form."
