He hand-paints a line of custom clothing for the legendary Patricia Field and has collaborated with leading fashion designers, including Belgian avant-garde visionary Walter Van Beirendonck and design duo JCRT, renowned for their proprietary plaid shirts and accessories. In these collaborations, LaForge’s artwork was seamlessly integrated into jacquard weaves and printed textiles, elevating the fusion of fine art and fashion. A champion of repurposing garments, LaForge transforms clothing into canvases, creating wearable paintings, intricate collages, and dynamic mixed-media pieces that blur the line between art and attire.
