The art of fashion in Vermont

Fashion design by Natalia Martinez Sagan; photography by Nacho Lunadei, in the show “Unusual Threads: Stitching Together the Future of Fashion,’’ at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Manchester, Vt., May 10-June 23. Manchester is an affluent vacation and weekend town, with a lot of high-end shops. Robert Todd Lincoln, son of the president, built his country estate there, called Hildene (picture of its mansion below). It’s now a museum. There are ski areas nearby.
