For seventeen years it was my extraordinary fortune to work on the production of the
Obiko fashion shows for Sandra Sakata
in various roles from providing only sound design to complete production coordination. I was also
involved with satellite shows that featured Obiko designers. Some of
these shows were video taped and I will write about them and post the
videos at some point.
