Cover Artist: Catherine Segurson
Catherine Segurson is the founding editor of Catamaran Literary Reader. She’s also a painter, videographer, and creative writer who graduated from the MFA program at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. As a videographer, she filmed fashion shows in New York and Los Angeles for Getty Images.
Artist Statement: My fashion series paintings are inspired by runway shows during New York and Los Angeles Fashion Weeks. These shows are fleeting moments—often lasting only about twelve minutes—yet they are filled with energy, beauty, and movement. Through this series, I aim to capture the ephemeral nature of fashion in motion and translate it into a lasting visual form. The paintings reflect not only the garments and models on the runway, but also the atmosphere, rhythm, and emotional impressions experienced by the audience. By preserving these brief yet powerful moments on canvas, my work seeks to transform the temporary spectacle of the runway into something enduring, allowing the emotions and visual excitement of the shows to live beyond their short duration.
