LEONID GUREVICH for SASHA GRADIVA

Dear Guys and Girls!

Now that you got yourself a bit familiar with Sasha Gradiva after her unforgettable Grammy appearance, I invite you to take a look at her performing. Her energy is contagious. Sooner than you think you will love her just like I do.
I was so busy with all the Grammy preparations, that forgot to post about this magical surreal night when the galvanizing Sasha Gradiva set District 36 ablaze, performing her mega hit "I'm on Fire" during Matinee New York Festival on the night of January 1st, 2012! VIDEO is at the bottom of my post..

The jaded NYC crowd could not get enough of Gradiva's electrifying energy and her hot stallion dancers, all dressed in costumes created by Leonid Gurevich. Conceptualizing them I was inspired by the gladiators, the jocks and the S&M gear. I endlessly enjoyed designing costumes for this incredibl show and especially enjoyed watching these beautiful, talented people in action, wearing them. Performance was choreographed exclusively by the amazing Bijan Rythmik Williams.

The jaw-dropping performance was not the only present Sasha Gradiva prepared for the audience that night. T-shirts along with glossy wallet size 2012 calendars were handed out both designed by Leonid Gurevich using Gradiva's images shot by the one and only Mike Ruiz
