Kaytee Papusza, one of our designers on Smashing Darling, is showing her latest collection in Brooklyn this February during Williamsburg Fashion Week. The line called Papusza Couture made a move to NYC from the West Coast about a year ago. She is looking for all kinds of volunteers to help out the weekend of the show.
Here is the request, in her words:
Hello everyone.
I will be showing in February at the Williamsburg FashionWeekend at
Glasslands in Brooklyn. It will be the weekend of February 20th and
21st, which is right around the corner. I am showing a collection of
18 looks. It is called Origama Pink, and the inspiration is gothic
lolita meets victoriana deconstruction with a twist of punk rock. The
show will be very theatrical with an emphasis on the unconventional. I
am seeking hair stylists, makeup artists, wardrobe stylists,
photographers and models who would be interested. I am especially
interested in models that have an interest in performance art, as the
show will implement performance.
Please let me know if you are interested and please feel free to
forward this email to anyone else at all who you think might be
interested.
Also, please note that sadly at this point in my career I am unable to
offer compensation. However, it will be a lot of fun and a lovely
opportunity. There will be a live audience there as well as
possibilities for publication. I will also have a photographer there
that will be documenting your works. It will be a great show with an
emphasis on artists and creativity, and I am totally open to allowing
people who work with me in this to have their own creative freedom, so
long as it is cohesive with my theme, as I am all about collaboration.
I hope to hear back from some of you, and like mentioned before please
feel free to email this to anyone else you know who might be
interested in participating.
If you are interested in helping out by volunteering, leave a comment here on the blog, leaver her a message on Facebook or Myspace.
