Step into a live fashion performance where couture gowns become canvas!
About this Event

Watch couture come to life as artists paint directly onto gowns in motion. Set within a live fashion performance, each piece transforms in real time while worn by models—turning blank canvas into one-of-a-kind wearable art.

We are offering two ways to attend:

Artist Participation — $100 (Limited Spots)

For selected artists who want to be part of the creation.

Includes:
– Painting directly onto couture canvas garments
– A fully styled environment with models and lighting
– Professional photo and video content for portfolio and social use
– Opportunity to collaborate and connect with other creatives

Guest Experience — $35 (Limited Entry)

For those who want to attend, observe, and immerse themselves in the experience.

Includes:
– Access to the live painting performance
– Up-close viewing of the creative process
– Hors d’oeuvres, music, and a curated atmosphere
– Opportunity to mingle with artists, designers, and creatives

Each gown is constructed from raw white canvas and shaped into dramatic 18th-century silhouettes, evolving throughout the night into expressive, hand-painted works.

This is a curated experience—not a class. Spots are intentionally limited to maintain an intimate and elevated environment. Once capacity is reached, doors will close.

After the final looks are completed and captured, the evening will continue at Prophecy starting at 10:30 PM. Guests and artists are invited to join for a more relaxed, social atmosphee to celebrate the night's work.
