It has been such a wild summer in New York City with SOTU Productions, we were excited to have a change of scenery in Detroit last week for their annual 'Shimmer on the River' gala!
Collaborating with our favorite local event planners there, we created a costume collection inspired by the elements - earth, air, fire, water - to dazzle guests of the Riverfront Conservancy. We didn't have to look far for ideas; Detroit-based SOTU models Anna and Samantha had the perfect look for our stunning Forest Faerie and Woodland Nymph!
Anna and Samantha looked absolutely radiant in their shimmering makeup and LED embellished floral ensembles...prepping body paint and faerie ears with our makeup assistant Katrina was so much fun, we can't wait to debut these looks back home in Manhattan!
But what could we possibly come up with for water?
Several fabulous characters came to mind: mystical mermaids, towering lotus flowers, sparkling sea creatures...
Still, we knew there was another creation on the horizon that would truly steal the show - A HUMAN WATER FOUNTAIN!
Of course, why not??
SOTU prop designer Aaron brought this jaw-dropping installation to life for it's Detroit debut!
Oh, I know...your mind is BOGGLED!!!
What kind of behind-the-scenes magic has to happen to bring these crazy ideas to life?
Just a little makeup, a lotta love and a team of dedicated designers, talented performers, managers & assistants...and glue.
