August 7th, 2018 was the opening night of a fashion exhibition done in collaboration between Eckhaus Latta and the Whitney Museum of Art. The experience, a definite fusion between art and contemporary style, offered visitors the opportunity to not only witness "the behind-the-scenes of the fashion industry" but it also gave them the chance to engage and interact with the items, even purchase them.
The fashion exhibition was titled 'Posessed' and it featured three rooms. One is a mock-up marketing campaign, the second is a boutique that boasts artworks by artists that frequently collaborate with Eckhaus Latta— from Susan Cianciolo to Annabeth Marks, and finally, the third room features a wall of CCTV photography.
