Thursday night was the fifth annual Object Runway show here in Anchorage, Alaska. It is an amazing spectacle of performance, art, and fashion. Every year, the artists push the previous year’s boundaries. You just don’t know what will happen next.
There was fish skin and human skin.

Thank you dear Beth, Jessica, and Elizabeth for walking my looks down the runway. It was a true pleasure to work with you.
And thank you Lila for sharing photos!
If anyone else out there has good photos of my models, I would love to see them.
That looks so exciting!
Barb-
It is a not to be missed event up here. I think Denman Island should do one too!
Great fun, Maria. Thanks for sharing style from the tundra. Carole
Thank you Carole. It was a grueling ten days getting there looks ready.

Thank you Lesley- I plan to show more of the looks I designed for the show in later posts.
Hi Maria. Wish I could’ve seen the sweater creations better! Hope you’ll repost some close ups.
Kerri- I will be writing full blog posts about each of my models and the clothing I made for them in the next week or so. I’m trying to track down good photos! Thank you for stopping by.
