Couture designer David Tupaz claims that “fashion is the extension of our personalities.” From his joie de vivre style to his exceptional eye for tailoring, David’s high-fashion haute couture line exemplifies elegant, romantic feminism with a tailored twist. The designer was trained in New York but moved to Los Angeles, because he claims that, while New York is the center of fashion, Hollywood is the window. David now has showrooms in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas. His gowns have been seen on the runway on red-carpet stars, such as Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts, Lucy Liu, Kristen Chenoweth. Additionally, William Shatner and Bruce Jenner have both sported exquisite David Tupaz suits on the red carpet.

Her whimsical style represents simplicity and includes sparkles, feathers, and bold prints. Rochelle has been designing for seven years and was a finalist in the LTLA Katwalk Competition. She has been featured in LA Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and New York Fashion Week. Rochelle Carino designs can be viewed and purchased on her website www.rochellecarino.net.

Charles Gitnick is not your average 11 year old. Aside from homework, skateboarding, playing video games and football, the 6^th grader spends his time creating art that depicts the impact of gun violence on children. He first began experimenting with his gun art in 2011 when he took his own toy rifle and covered it with newspaper clippings about gun violence around the world. Now, his work has evolved into 3-D presentations of replica guns that are camouflaged into backgrounds with the use of acrylic paint. His gun art is both fun and bold by exhibiting multicolored and monochromatic schemes. He wouldn’t be an 11 year old if his technique didn’t involve the use a spring-loaded toy air rifle. Among other techniques, he uses a toy air rifle to apply the abstract designs. His work was featured in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach and has sold in New York and at Venice Beach Boardwalk.
