"Foundation" - Earth, Wind, Fire, Water
Samantha “Sami Sue” Jones will be representing every element through a total of 8 models. There will be an "Avante Gard" look, and a "Street Style" look for each element. Sami finds her inspiration through her surroundings, friends, and pure imagination. "Having the creative outlet to do whatever my mind can think of on a model is both thrilling and challenging." She said about preparing for the show. "I'm really looking forward to seeing how far we can take Rogue Collections in the upcoming years. Dubuque's view of art is expanding and Rogue Collections is a part of that. It's awesome."
Hannah Nettles-
Water
Hair, makeup, and fashion have been an integral part of Hannah Nettles' life from a young age. That passion was fully realized and put into profession in 2010 when she graduated from Capri College. During that time, she was able to delve into the world of avant garde hair and make up: styles beyond simple cut and color. Since then she has participated in a number of hair centric art shows and competitions, all while maintaining a successful career behind the chair making men and women of all ages look and feel their best.
Since graduating from Capri College, Hannah has participated in hair shows, traveled the surrounding tri-states for continued education, and also has done freelance hair and make-up for other fashion shows. Her collection "Water" will feature 5 models each inspired by mermaids.
Laura E. Buechele spent her childhood amidst a family of potters and painters, dramatists and story tellers, folk and rock musicians, and many other magical people. Her family lived in a barn converted into a house in Asbury, Iowa. At an early age Laura expressed her thoughts through drawing, creating her own line of clothing with crayons and markers. She played dress-up with vintage ball gowns and by the age of seven had turned her room into a salon.
As an adult Laura has traveled overseas. Her travels have breathed new perspectives, colors, bold designs, and fresh ideas into her life and art. In 2000 she acquired a cosmetology license and currently is at The Looking Glass, which coincidentally is the first salon Laura had ever been to as a child. Laura is continually influenced by the organic and original perspectives she finds in all types of music and art. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, gardening, visiting river beaches, and being surrounded by nature.
