It’s always a pleasure to announce new news about the festival, and today our fashion curator, Elizabeth Pulos, has revealed the core lineup for the RE/Mixed Fashion Show that will take place at 11PM on the night of the fest. It’s going to be 30 minutes of remixed fashion insanity, Featuring designs from Arthur Arbit, Jojo Monson and Katie McKay with projections by Rachel Blackwell and beats by Karl Marx. This is one of the not-to-be missed events of the festival, and will be followed by DJ c-tor and Dan Winckler (live visuals) closing out the night with a mad remix dance party. Following are the bios of the fashion artists appearing in the festival:
Arthur Arbit is a NYC based designer, and the creator of Williamsburg Fashion Weekend
Rachel Blackwell is a video and collage artist in New York City. She sorts through the visual flotsam and jetsam in our 2D and cyber world. Then the re-mix starts; colors are enhanced or muted, figures are taken from their homes and placed in new landscapes. Everything is chopped up and reordered to expose a hidden point. This point is a new home for the artist and viewer to call their own.
Karl Marx (karlmarxbeats.com) would like to borrow $40 until Monday.
JoJo Monson (monsondesigns.com) is a multi-media artist, designer and performer located in New York City. She specializes in exotic costuming and graphic design, bridging the gap between corporation and creativity. Her work has been called remarkable, renaissance, referencing intuitive influences from her wide travels and unique job experience. Her portfolio includes everything from children’s illustration for Colorado and California based companies, to digital and motion design for one of New York’s top advertising companies, to a 15th century Persian wedding gown in Cairo, to toy prototyping for the Denver Art Museum, to costume and concept design for the New York Circus Arts Academy. She is a skilled printmaker, leather worker, henna artist, teacher and storyteller. Her work is strikingly unique, versatile and accessible to all those with an eye for the wild.
