If fashion and retail is entertainment, The Bohemian Society’s last show was a performance.

The L.A.-based avant fashion label produced an event where members of an audience got to dress models in Bohemian Society looks at the LA Weekly Artopia fair/party at downtown Los Angeles Grand Central Market on May 15.

Perhaps it should be called performance art fashion show. Models Katarina Lova and Taylor Dunn, clad only in black underwear, appeared in front of a screen where various black and white film clips were being screened. In a reversal of Yoko Ono’s infamous mid-1960s performance “Cut Piece” where audience members cut off strips of Yoko's clothes, Artopia audience members outfitted the models in Bohemian Society’s looks. Dress it up!
