A Brush With Fashion

There’s never been a more fitting name than “Fashion’s Living Canvas.” It’s a runway show in which the models literally become the canvas for one look as artist Sharon Hodges paints her interpretation of the designers’ creations onto the models’ bodies.

There’s never been a more fitting name than “Fashion’s Living Canvas.” It’s a runway show in which the models literally become the canvas for one look as artist Sharon Hodges paints her interpretation of the designers’ creations onto the models’ bodies. I know what you’re thinking and yes, Hodges will save a ton on paint since these gals typically split Tic Tacs for dinner. I kid, of course, they probably eat Cheez-Its and Crunch Berries like the rest of us. Aside from the body paint spectacular, the show will be true to form featuring six Texas designers and a 200-foot catwalk at the Hilton Anatole’s Atrium II, 2201 Stemmons Freeway. The event is open to the public and admission is free for standing room only. General admission seating is $20 and VIP seating is $150 with proceeds benefiting The Fashionistas student scholarship fund. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts promptly at 8:30 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, sashay on over to fashionslivingcanvas.eventbrite.com.
