Heard of Paloma - winner of PFW's 2009 Emerging Designer Show

Having won the PFW Emerging Designer show, almost a year ago, Paloma emerges into something beautifully fresh - Mythaus.  Fusing paint and fashion design, the collaboration of the two artists, Paloma Soledad and Robb Kramer was a must see.

The show began with a fresh and breathtaking performance by Nightshade. A light and a fairy-bug. The audience watched as the bug transformed into this beautifully decorated woman, with wings.

The performing artists Teeth demonstrated modern dance, as the show began to segue.

One take on the introduction, pictured below, was "women's struggle with image".  We, as women, are constantly trying to conform to what the world wants us to be.  The model, below, depicts the struggle. 

This next picture represents women expressing themselves exactly how they want to be.  Whether it is strong and bold with artistic hair, or timid and shy with modest clothing, being yourself is the best person you could be.

I want to reitterate this explanation of the show is coming from one person's idea of what the show meant to them.  This is not coming from either artists' mouths.

Way to go Mythaus!
