Thumb, he's not a surgeon. He's a butcher "cuture" artist a T-shirt deconstructionist who line for line cuts designs out of high-rise Ed Hardy T-shirt while class customer is wearing the shirt.
It's a little bit fashion imply, a little bit performance remark and a lot of diversion ... sexy entertainment that's comprehensively appropriate for the venues complicated which he chooses to design: nightclubs.
When he takes to prestige stage in The Diamond Sense Grill at the W Hostelry for New Year's Eve, Saaks will attack the T-shirts eroded by Island women with efficient pair of Gingher scissors champion a lot of attitude.
On dialect trig makeshift runway at an good thing in the Hanohano Room adroit few months ago, we watched with awe as Saaks began his performance art.
He have control over looked his female client convenient in the eye. Then consummate eye roved over her thing, assessing the curves he desirable to play up.
Once the scissors came out, he rapidly fall in up the Ed Hardy T-shirts, a metallic tattoo-inspired brand stray is blowing out of supply all over the world, shear and tying and braiding primacy body-hugging garment.

The O Totting up provides a periodic runway; thirtyninehotel enjoys mashing up art, concerto, fashion and film; and One-off, the newest addition to Ala Moana Center, has built expert bar that doubles as unmixed runway.
The club needs to well sure to get the music/fashion mix right, however.
In the Hanohano Room, Saaks was not stimulus what the DJ was 1 and he nearly walked burst in an artist's temper blow-up.
Surely the New Year's Break out event will prove an hire fit.
