Kyle Kupiszewski, Sweet Charity Remix Co-host cast member reality show "Chef Academy"[supporting Food Bank For New York City]


Kyle Kupiszewski, Bio

Kyle Kupiszewski, known as "Kup" to his buddies, is a young navy chef residing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

A cook aboard nuclear powered submarines, Kup is used to serving 150 helpings of hash browns and bacon in one sitting, so he isn't fazed by pressure. However, he arrived at the Academy with a limited range of dishes and techniques and was therefore nervous about learning how to cook under the renowned Chef Novelli. He may look like a muscular sailor with attitude and tattoos, but Kup may have been the student who most desperately wanted to impress Novelli.

Toughened by years of Navy experience (he once spent 91 days underwater) nothing much fazes Kup. During the series, he shows he has a short fuse and doesn't take kindly to childish behavior. He forms a close friendship with Kyle, the other alpha male type in the group, but clashes with some of his female classmates. Kup is now back on active duty with the Navy.

International Fashion Designer Darius Wobil for "Saint Wobil" will create Beauty;Forward;Envisioned for U [Sweet Charity] Dec 13


Darius Wobil Bio

He was born on March 25, 1983, in Buffalo, New York as the oldest of six children. In his elementary years, the young designer impressed his teachers through academic and performing arts skills, through colors and with extreme detail. In high school, he won countless awards arts and for his vocal performances. It became quite obvious that the worlds of arts would be where the artistic soul would seek asylum. The young designer graduated high school at the tender age of 14 from the Langham School in London. After modeling for Levi kids, the fashion industry watched him grow from a model to a designer. He furthered his education at the Ghana National College and graduated with honors in General Arts ( speaking five different languages at the speed of lightening ). He later returned home to the United States and enrolled at The American Intercontinental University and became one of its proud products, with a lot of designing experience and
creativity.

Alongside Leon Parham, he worked inside the Mama’s boy production in Atlanta learning hands-on the hip-hop men’s wear style and the business aspect of the industry. He is the lead designer for Neo Soul clothing company Negrs Lebrum out of New Orleans. He is currently working on a contract with the Urban Alligator of Atlanta. And is now the new designer for Chulo men’s underwear and is introducing the new Chulo women’s underwear slated for 2010. His work has graced the covers and editorial pages of Requin, Epic, Noir Couture, UCE, etc. A regular face at fashion week ( in New York and London ), he is destined for international fashion space, leaving his mark on every aspect on the industry. A physic once told a pregnant 25 year old that her child “would be known not by his face but by his personality and lasting impression everywhere he goes. His art would be timeless. He will keep you in stitches and all the
while giving you serious couture.” It is no wonder he is referred to as Georgia’s youngest couture, Atlanta’s Valentino. A New York magazine once called him “a fashion storm to watch for”. Darius Wobil’s eclectic charm and metropolitan sensibility help make his designs the epitome of modern New York and European style. Though he initially received his attention for his wild colors and unpredictably short hems, Wobil’s recent Atlanta shows have notably used more blacks, browns, creamy pastels and muted patterns, some overlaid with monochromatic shapes or complementing detail. Since its launch in 2000, Wobil’s stylish collections have been consistently featured in fashion magazines, and the designer himself garnered numerous accolades, including a nomination from the Bermuda American Association. The brand also includes handbags, accessories and vintage nostalgia mixed with modern sophistication. The eveningwear line includes
sexy cocktail dresses, evening gowns, bridals, perfect fitting pants, flouncy separates and dignified tailoring on men’s wear. The young fashion Mogul is now the host of a new bridal show on Comcast “Fairy tale wedding dress”. He is making his début in New York’s fashion week and starting a new life in the big apple. His first big production will be for department store buyers and boutiques. Overlooking nothing, he slam dunked the costuming deal for a movie in the works.
