Fall Flashback

Makeup, wardrobe, hairstyling...it's all a part of the backstage insanity at any given fashion event. But not for this fashion show. The makeup artists and hairstyling gurus that make up Katwalk Productions, Seattle's newest edition to the uprise of DIY, rogue-ish fashion groups, are ditching the backstage and taking over the runway. Literally.

Fall Flashback will celebrate art, music, and fashion (duh) this Sunday, November 8th at the Ballard Art Church with a little bit of a proclaimed "East Coast flair." The show will feature live music by the Dirty Change Ups, fashion by Belltown clothier Monica Gutweis, and headlining the event is Seattle Art Museum's Masquerade Costume Design Competition winner, Anna Dicklhuber and her three piece costume series (one of which is inspired by Cai Guo-Qiang’s Inopportune car explosion installation) that will also feature platform hair and make-up, i.e. styling that is done live and on stage. A little hint: the costume may involve projecting light rods from the rear and bust of the garment...just sayin'.

In true West Coast style, this event is stripping away all barriers of exclusivity and getting its "do-gooder" on by making the event free and donating all profits from their raffle to Art Corps for kids.
