Female models are required to wear nipple covers and boy shorts, and the male models will wear Joe boxers under their body paint. The artists will also base their work on a personally chosen theme.

After the catwalk presentation a cocktail and h’orderves reception will follow, which will give guests an opportunity to interact with the models and be professionally photographer by Anita Cleare and her team. The highlight of the evening will be a live “Jam Session”. This is when the four artists will showcase their skills and talent live for the viewing audience, giving them the unique chance to see the human body transform into a masterpiece of body art right before their eyes.
