We have an incredible group of artists displaying and selling their artwork at this festival. You can expect to see pieces from the following NW artists:
The Black Lotus clothing line is a collection of unique, hand-sewn pieces inspired by the SF Bay Area belly dance scene. Christina Molcillo, the founder and designer, was introduced to the world of belly dancing in 2002 and was struck by the innovative and unique nature of the costumes, and how they helped to enhance the drama of the dancer’s movements. The end result of Christina’s vast influences and creative spark is a costume that serves a purpose as well as tells a story. (SF Bay Area)
Dark Fusion Boutique is a collection of original clothing designed by Renee Rathmann, otherwise know as Lucretia, residing in Portland, Oregon. Her style is a delicate fusion of goth, Burningman, bellydance, fetish, Vaudville, and even punk. Her current body of work, Winter 2008 Fetish Collection, puts a feminine twist on the typical fetish aesthetic, inspired by the art of dance and the Goddess. (Portland, OR)
Featured in this years fashion show! Anaar's traveling boutique, Tombo Studio was established in 1995. At a very early age while living in Japan, a dragonfly, or tombo, flew past my ear. A voice opened itself to me and taught me to sign all my art with a tombo, hence Tombo Studio. In my work as a designer I strive toward two quests. The first quest is for great design, the second, superb craftsmanship. When you visit my booth, look for my hand made exotic costumes and custom designed jewelry. My design and color sensibilities come from a Fine Arts training and years of practice.
