01 / THE EVENT

A one-night Rock ’n’ Roll Surrealist Ball.

“There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust.”
— Edgar Allan Poe

Rusty Halo and Creative Catalyst Agency cordially invited guests to take their place in a one-night Rock ‘n’ Roll Surrealist Ball at the Karma Sanctum Hotel.

Guests were welcomed into a marketplace of curiosities and artisan wonders before venturing through rooms alive with music, fashion shows, world-class performance art, and the surreal spirit of Rock ‘n’ Roll—the ever-flowing fountain of youth and illusion.

The Karma Sanctum Hotel became a temple where rock stars came to disappear. Legends seemed to linger within its walls, and for one unforgettable night, every guest stepped into that legacy, becoming part of the illusion themselves.

Between Skins & Masks by Charlie Jimenez

BETWEEN SKINS & MASKS

PERFORMANCE ART
PERFORMANCE / CHARLIE JIMENEZ

Between Skins & Masks unfolded as a live study in transformation, concealment and persona.

Charlie Jimenez used costume, gesture and proximity to turn the performance into part of the room itself, moving between spectacle and interruption rather than remaining contained to a conventional stage.

Final editorial text and film will be added once supplied.

FASHION SHOWCASE

Vanta Veil Latex

FASHION NOTE / VANTA VEIL LATEX

Vanta Veil Latex entered the Ball as a separate fashion showcase, using latex, shine and sculpted silhouette to sharpen the event’s surreal, nocturnal atmosphere.

The presentation moved through the audience as live image-making rather than a conventional runway moment.

Final collection text and film will be added once supplied.

Milla Giulia Badin fashion showcase

MILLA GIULIA BADIN

FASHION SHOWCASE
FASHION / MILLA GIULIA BADIN

A second fashion intervention entered the Ball as part of the evening’s shifting visual language.

Milla Giulia Badin’s showcase treated silhouette, styling and movement as part of the live environment, placing fashion directly inside the surreal sequence of rooms and performances.

Final collection text and film will be added once supplied.
