Shape Shifting

A seasonal transition that’s anything but true to form.

A stroll through the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art’s outdoor sculpture garden in Virginia Beach reveals steel and marble forged into graceful silhouettes that put us in the mood for geometric lines and crisp modernism this winter. These classic looks will take you from day to night events all winter long. Check out our style guide below and view our “where to wear” list of Virginia Beach events to track the season by.
