The True Alchemy Collection is a collaborative project between 6 artists and designers based in 5 different California cities: Scatha G. Allison, Domini Anne, Sophia Constance, Dawsepn Engler, Shabnam Q. And Amanda Sage. 

The 12 look collection combines fabrics and hand painting from artist Amanda Sage with designers Scatha G. Allison, Domini Anne and Shabnam Q. creating one of a kind, neo-couture wearable art pieces. Dawson Engler brings luxury leathers and metal body adornments matched to each of the outfits, and performance artist and leatherworker Sophia Constance completes each character with handworked leather headpieces.
