Brandon Hilton - Upcycled Cocktail Dress
Modeled by Brandon Hilton
Billboard Artwork by Margaret Fleeman
Featured in ArtPop’s 5th Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser
This runway moment comes courtesy of The House of Mann, presenting one-of-a-kind couture fashioned from a billboard featuring original artwork by Margaret Fleeman. This is not just a dress; it’s a work of architecture, performance, and storytelling stitched together in unapologetic defiance of convention. Worn and presented by global pop singer, actor, fashion designer, and model Brandon Hilton, this piece embodies the ethos of upcycling - breathing new life into unconventional materials and elevating them into couture-level artistry.
In a culture of excess, The House of Mann dares to remind us that there’s beauty in simplicity. Tonight, the interstate meets the runway, and sustainability collides with spectacle, proving that fashion’s future is as bold, provocative, and unforgettable as this moment. Every fiber has been reclaimed, reworked, and reborn - a true testament to the beauty of destruction and the elegance of reinvention.

Named Charlotte's best fashion designer in 2023, Hilton’s pieces have been featured in TV shows like DC Comics ‘Doom Patrol’ on HBO, AMC’s Dragula, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and they were recently featured in Vogue Magazine for their work on the Alexander McQueen exhibit premiering at NY Fashion Week on September 8th.
Brandon’s brand is all about inclusivity, inspiration and innovation. The House of Mann believes fashion should be a statement: bold, sustainable, and unforgettable. With a strong commitment to individuality and a deep respect for the chaos of creation, the brand continues to push the envelope of what fashion can be.
