Every piece of clothing displayed at the Music Academy in Montecito on Thursday
night had a story attached to it — some things were bought in foreign places,
while others held memories of the wearer’s life, bygone fashion trends, or local
heritage. Every person who picked out a new addition to their wardrobe walked
away with that story. That’s the magic of upcycled fashion.

It was One Night in MAE’s Closet in honor of organizer Mari Warner’s
great-grandmother Martha Ann Edwards, the founding boardmember of the Music
Academy at Miraflores. 

This rendition of the Music Academy Auxiliary’s annual Sip & Swap sold over 100
tickets and raised nearly $7,000 to support the academy and the children’s SING!
Program, a free choral initiative the academy offers to elementary-school-age
children.

Warner and academy boardmember Ashley Woods Hollister were co-chairs of the
event, which was a nod to the Music Academy’s history of cyclical fashion, from
before The Rack and The Treasure House consignment shops permanently closed in
March 2020.

Participants swapped pieces from their own closets for a treasure from another’s
while enjoying art, snacks, cocktails, and wine. The night’s soundtrack was the
beautiful melodies of pianist and Music Academy alum Jacopo Giacopuzzi.

While perusing the curated racks and tables, attendees could imagine creating a
full, glamorous outfit with the items laid out in front of them, thanks to
stylist Alice Brophy. She took the piles of over 200 donated items and made them
come to life, boutique-style. 

This Indy reporter was even able to snag a beautiful caramel-colored suit
created by Santa Barbara–based designer Ryan Shand, who donated pieces to the
event. 

“Everyone was so excited,” Warner said toward the end of the night, looking
around at the near-empty tables at racks. “They all love cyclical fashion; it’s
much better than things going to the landfill.”
