The Capricorn II fashion models were a big hit in the windows of the August Wilson Center 1st floor Cafe. Guests came from across Liberty Avenue on foot and parked their cars to come to the living installation art exhibit. Those that came in were treated to an nouveau informal fashion show. The live models moved about the cafe space then became mannequins again. Guests were then treated to a runway fashion show with information about the historical imporatnce of the clothing along with a local connection to past historical local stores. Finally guest saw a cross between modern dance runway fashion show. Model/Dancers Marylloyd Claytor, Marissa Jones, Audrey Prisk, and Jamaya Robinson premiered "Living Dolls". This is a new choreographic piece and style Ms. Claytor began developing over the past summer to premiere in this kick-off to the fall 2012 performance season.
