Pred's Power of the Purse bags have been carried on the red carpet at the Oscars, and have been featured in Vanity Fair Magazine, Style Magazine, The Financial Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Vogue.com, and MsMagazine.com They are in the collections of Hilary Clinton, Ariana De Bose, and Amy Schumer amongst others..
From the artist's statement: "I chose purses as my canvas as a way to marry the powerful, politically-charged language of today's resistance with representations of women's modern economic power and the possibilities for change that come with it. For me, the use of purses from the mid-twentieth century also calls back to that critical era in the women's movement and reminds us how much power we have to effect meaningful change. The purses are meant to be carried and serve as small-scale political billboards."
