A modest sampling from his two sets depicting images from a pre-show consultation, the fast walk-through prior to the actual runway show, and finally, a shot showing a glimpse of the frenzied "paparazzi" in the audience.

Pre-show:

Walk-through:

Apocalyptic Pieces 1-3

For her wearable Art, Sonya states” In the apocalyptic future, when the harsh climate and militarized mutants threaten to destroy us, these clothes will help. The coats shield the wearer from the elements while the clothing is practical and sensible.”

Theme: Cyberart

Ms. Thorne's three pieces will be modelled by Lilia Gaufberg, Zoe Cohen and the artist herself.

Sonya Thorne grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she attended hippy-dippy liberal schools, which introduced her to art. She has explored photography, fashion, drawing, painting, and woodworking. She has taken Wearable Art twice and plans to take it again next year. She loves comics, movies, zombies, and motorcycles.
