The High Museum of Art in Atlanta will present 'Fashioning Futures: Raul Lopez of LUAR in Conversation with Andrew Westover' on August 20, 2026, offering a public discussion focused on the designer’s career path and creative practice. The event is scheduled for 7–8 p.m. in Hill Auditorium at the museum, with registration required and tickets priced at $10 for members and $23.50 for not-yet-members.
According to the museum’s event listing, the program will bring Raul Lopez together with Andrew Westover, the High’s Eleanor McDonald Storza Deputy Director for Learning and Civic Engagement. The conversation is billed as a behind-the-scenes look at Lopez’s trajectory in fashion, with attention to “key designs and breakthrough moments” that have helped propel his work to critical and commercial acclaim.
Lopez is identified by the High as the founder and creative director of LUAR. The museum says he previously co-founded Hood By Air and that his practice now extends beyond fashion into hospitality and cultural consulting. The listing also notes that Lopez serves as a creative advisor to luxury destinations including Palm Heights. The event description frames the conversation around design decisions, milestones and the wider scope of his career.
Westover is presented as a regular moderator of public conversations at the High, with prior interviews listed with fashion figures including Law Roach, Aurora James and Matty Boy. The museum’s site also places the program within its broader public conversation series, which sits alongside other adult programming and events in the institution’s calendar.
The High’s listing says the evening will begin with the bar opening at 6 p.m., followed by the public conversation at 7 p.m. and the conclusion of the program at 8 p.m. Lead support is provided by the Lauren Amos Fashion Project.
The conversation arrives as the High continues to program around fashion, contemporary culture and cross-disciplinary exchange. On the same calendar, the museum is also presenting 'Amy Sherald: American Sublime', which runs from May 15 to September 27, 2026, and for which timed tickets are paused through the end of August. But the Raul Lopez program stands on its own as a ticketed public talk centered on the designer’s work and the path that brought him from Hood By Air to LUAR.
