This is one of the first fashion shows in which I was ever involved. I was 16 when I first modeled for this brilliantly ethereal Australian fashion designer, Akira Isagawa. The memories of this event are poignent as I had not yet been exposed to the turmoils of the fashion industry. In the painted version of this event I have tried to capture a weird combination of my innocence as well as the brooding disruption which was to unfold. It took many attempts of repeated repainting on this canvas to get the desired result. This painting process relates to the 'trying too hard' aspect which was omnipresent in my personality when I was modeling.
