Painted Ladies (and Men) at the Gibbes

Over the weekend, I was nursing some flu-like symptoms with quality couch time watching a Creative Live photo workshop. (Bambi Cantrell shared so much knowledge!) The last segment of her posing workshop included a model wearing a little body paint, which reminded me I hadn’t yet blogged about this fun February fete at the Gibbes Museum.

I had so much fun documenting this Society 1858 party for the Gibbes Museum! A dozen lovely models were paired with as many local artists who interpreted works from a current exhibit onto these moving canvases for a fantastic runway show in the museum’s largest gallery. Hundreds of partygoers applauded those who braved the catwalk while Charleston’s favorite glamazon and brainchild of Charleston Fashion Week, Ayoka Lucas, emceed the show. Later, guests enjoyed tasty cocktails and delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by Summerville’s five-star gem, The Woodlands.
