Fashion is universal. It crosses all borders and criss-crosses the Globe. Everyone’s style is different and so are their interpretations. The same can be said about the textile patterns of the indigenous people of the Chiapas, Mexico Highlands. CHIP MORRIS is an old friend of the Lower Eastside Girls Club who happens to know a lot about the textile patterns on Chiapas, Mexico. He also happens to be a in demand tour guide in Chiapas. Chip came by the Lower Eastside Girls Club to share with us his newest slideshow and a few insights about the progression of the Mayan Textile Patterns…

Those in attendance we treated to a live, intimate, and completely improvised serenade by this talented Cellist. Have a listen…
