Las Vegas designer, David Tupaz presented his 2019 collection at the West Sahara Library, The Studio “Art Galleries” (formerly the Fine Art Museum ) during the exhibition of “Shimmering Zen” by James Stanford. David’s collection was inspired by the Artist’s work and it showed in his choice of colors and shapes and the overall look of the collection.
“I am overwhelmed by James Stanford’s work”, David said. Being a Las Vegas designer, and James who is a native, was a perfect collaboration to bring the essence of Las Vegas’ culture and aesthetics. “There is certain vision that artists see and share” David adds.
The runway show was produced by The Industry Fashion Show and David Tupaz in cooperation with TNG models who sponsored most of the runway models in support of David. The event was by invitation only as most industry events and shows are.

We want the runway to be the vehicle that will create sales.
