Fashion Name:  La Divina.... a tribute to Gia
the jump off Model Name:  Adriana Alba-SanchezStatement -  This past summer one of our closest friends took her own life, leaving us all with memories, images and questions.  Gia was a fierce make-up artist, and it wasn’t until we were clearing out her closet that we discovered she also had an amazing talent for fashion design.  Hundreds of drawings and sketches were found, and several were incorporated into this piece.  Though her funeral was the fashion event of the year, this tribute is an offering to bring her spirit and her style back to life. Fashion Name:  Too much is never enoughMusic:  Little Richard - Girl Can't help itModel Name:  Shakina NayfackStatement -  In celebration of one of the most important figures in too-wrong fashion, glamour and glitz, this walking altar is dedicated to “the most beautiful woman in the world,” Divine!  Even today we can still look to her, the originator and reigning queen of camp, trash and sass, for the inspiration and courage to be shamelessly excessive, ruthlessly indulgent and in all ways larger than life!
