FOOD | ARTS | COMMUNITY | STYLE+LEISURE A Collaborative Approach to Fall Fashion The hottest fall fashion comes to life in the artistic collaboration (known as DeeJon) between classically trained fine artist Marjon F. Aucoin and self-taught modern artist Dandee Warhol. Playing off each other’s distinct style, the completed works, which took seven months to complete, invite the viewer to step inside their world and see the models step out of their masterpieces, blurring the lines between photography and painting. Wooden canvases serve as the first layer for the DeeJon works where the background of each painting is molded by Dandee in vivid colors set to themes like the cosmos and pop art. The foreground of each painting comes to life as the model, painted by Marjon, wears looks styled by LOCAL fashion editor MarziFat to finalize a true collaboration between fashion and art. www.marjonart.com www.dandeewarhol.com Photographed by: Cody Bess | Hair/Makeup in first round of shoots for the paintings: Darcie Teasley | Hair/Makeup in second round: Sara Eudy | Styled by: MarziFat Models: Victoria Monette | Abby Koening | Paintings and Backdrops by Artists: Marjon Aucoin and Dandee Warhol november 16 | L O C A L 59
