The 14th annual Carbondale Arts Fashion show was one for the books, or the screen perhaps. Leaning into this year’s film noir theme, “Camera Obscura” projected cinematic backdrops on curtains that would open to reveal small apartments containing big secrets.
These dance interludes complimented the stylings of fashion designers from near and far, while local models strutted their stuff on the runway for three sold-out performances. This followed months of rehearsals, the last of which was photographed by Will Sardinsky.


Photographer Tommy Sands attended on an official night and shared some of his shots from this community project, on par with the finest of fashion shows.
