Being a Las Vegas designer, and James who is a native, was a perfect collaboration to bring the essence of Las Vegas\u2019 culture and aesthetics. \u201cThere is certain vision that artists see and share\u201d David adds.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The Industry Fashion Show (T.I.F.S.) is a production company that produces fashion events, conventions, expos, as well as fashion presentations during fashion week. Our focus is not just a platform for designers to showcase their collections to the press and media, but we bring industry professionals, retailers, buyers, merchandisers, stylists, fashion PR, and advertising to create interest, connections, and business, between designers and the industry. We want the runway to be the vehicle that will create sales. The Fashion Industry Show (T.I.F.S.) has a fully equipped production that includes a lineup of house models, hair and make-up artists, production staff, interns, and volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>TNG Models is a full-service model and talent agency based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right:
