About the Artists and Designers:
Barabara Hulanicki:
Barabara Hulanicki will be exhibiting her fashion illustrations as well as new designs at High Gloss.
Barbara Hulanicki was the Queen of the Swinging 60s with her hip shop Biba. From dressing Twiggy, Brigitte Bardot, David Bowie, Marianne Faithful and the Rolling Stones, she made her name with the cult fashion brand she started with her husband Stephen Fitz-Simon ("Fitz"). Epitomizing swinging London in the 60s, the first boutique opened in Kensington in 1964.
Ash Rana was born in Kathmandu, Nepal. He attended high school in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan where he grew up loving Western pop music and Bollywood movies, attending temple services where women wore silk saris with t-shirts, and men donned blazers over kurtas, traditional baggy drawstring pants and long shirts - a mix of ancient custom and improvised modernity that would forever inspire his work. Rana left Asia to study fashion design and illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. After graduation he veered into nightlife, working as a performer and door personality at clubs and restaurants in New York and later South Beach. In 2000 he launched his fashion company, Ash Rana Inc and designed clothing for major pop acts including Colombian rocker Juanes, country singer Tim McGraw, and rap stars Lil Kim and Trina.
Ash travels regularly to Asia where he collaborates with local artisans on beaded and hand loomed fabrics as well as collecting heirloom fabric pieces that he incorporates in to his current work. 
James Eisele:
James Eisele is a Fashion and Advertising photographer based in West Palm Beach and shooting assignments worldwide. He is a past president of The American Society of Media Photographers South Florida Chapter and his work has been featured in publications such as Vogue Italia, Runway, Ocean Drive, Gold Coast, and Palm Beacher magazines. He has worked as "House Photographer" for Miami International Fashion Week and Funkshion Fashion Week. He is currently collaborating with Italian fashion photographer Flora Marcella on what is to be the first ever book on the Armani Silos in Milan, Italy and recently returned from 2 weeks shooting the most promising new Scandinavian designers at the prestigious TAU School of Design in Malmo, Sweden.
Nicole Galluccio:
Flavio Iryoda:
Fashion photographer who specializes in haute couture editorials. Born in Brazil from a Japanese family, his photographs have been published internationally in the US, South America and Europe markets.
With a peculiar taste of the unexpected and tendency to break the typical clichés, Flávio believes there are no boundaries to express fashion through photography. Uncertainty, confusion and uneasy drives his desires to create curiosity of those who experience his work.
