Fate of the Faeries

 September 22. at Voices from the Warehouse Art Gallery. Fate of the Faeries featured the work of 3 designers, 5 wardrobe specialists, a dozen stylists & make-up artists, and 25 models.  The show was highlighted by local performers Maureen Kilgore, as the chantruese, Chrissy Hogue, as the troubadour, and Mark Dixon's original remixes of Vivalde's Four Seasons, [featured in our YouTube trailer & viewable by clicking the YOUTUBE button on the footer of this page].  With set and backdrop of paper and forest, the troupe portrayed the tale of the faerie realm in our modern world.

​
The show's break-out year featured the work of 4 stylists, {Michele Chillook, Sarah Gauley, Laura Buechele, Courtney Elizabeth}, who transformed over two dozen models--one showcasing a modern dance routine to original music written specifically for the night's runway by local songstress, Maureen Kilgore. Everyone walked away with a different view of art and cosmetology. There were 150 art lovers in attendence, some of whom compared their experience of the evening with events one would find in Chicago or New York.  

 
"We put this show  together in three weeks--I'm excited to see what we can do in twelve months!" said Creator & Director, Michele Chillook, after the night of extreme fashion and styling.
