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:
Charlie Roberts consults with Liz Roncka regarding manipulation of his Inflatable Metamorphosis



Walk-through:
William Evertson and Karen Evertson wait to go on, with one of Ashley Conchieri's models close behind Rebecca Chabot.




During the runway show:
Eager paparazzi vie to get their shots of Sonya Thorne's Apocalyptic Pieces 1-3 modelled by Lilia Gaufberg, Zoe Cohen and the artist herself.

Unfortunately Ms. Čuhalev was unable to make the runway show (she thought it was later in May). She writes here about the work she was planning to create for and present at the show:

"I am a Fine artist and I mostly work with sculptural pieces. With this design I used different fashion, art and historical eras as inspiration. I enjoy working with interesting materials and images which is reflected in my piece."

Theme: General

Bio:

I was born in Slovenia where I finished an art high school. While in school I managed to publish 3 illustrations - 2 of which are children books. The big bronze sculpture visible in my gallery was also made in that period of time and is now situated in Oslo. I also worked as a paper delivery girl, cast maker in a bronze shop, room cleaner in a hotel, etc. Now I am studying Fine art in Liverpool UK. Here I was working as a personal assistant to a local artist.
