Fleurotica 2014

Hello lovelies! 

On Thursday I attended Fleurotica 2014. The show was absolutely amazing! This year the event was held at the Garfield Park Conservatory, which is such a beautiful place! I had never been to the Garfield Park Conservatory before, but I highly recommend visiting. There were so many different flowers and plants that I had never seen, from places all around the world. The designs this year were so intricate and detailed. I personally love to see unconventional fashion on the runway and I was very impressed by these designers work. I hope you like these designers pieces!

Enjoy,

Environmentally Friendly

Hello lovelies!

At my school The Environmental Club hosted an environmentally friendly fashion show. My good friend Allee modeled my pieces that I made in the photo shoot. The top that she is wearing is made from mens suit pants and the skirt she is wearing is made out of a mens white t-shirt. I know that you guys have seen these pieces up on the blog before but not together and not on lovely Allee! I loved that we shot Allee in a very nature-like setting with my bold and modern outfit. There could not have been a better contrast for the two. I want to thank Spencer Porter, who did an amazing job photographing Allee! All of these photos were taken by him minus the last picture which was taken via my iPhone. I hope you like the shoot and think green. 

Enjoy!

The Walk 2014 SAIC

Hello!

On May 2nd I went to the SAIC student fashion show "The Walk" for my fourth time. Every year the SAIC students show such amazing work. I look forward to coming to the fashion show every year because it is my favorite event! This year Nick Cave was honored for the "80 years of Fashion Innovation". The performances by Nick Cave and his sound suits were amazing. I loved the bright saturated colors and uniqueness that each suit had. I was blown away by each class of students, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. I had such a hard time editing down my pictures to post because there was so much beautiful work. My pictures are not in any specific order. The lighting this year on the runway was the best it has ever been and I really appreciate that! Overall the show was inspiring and I met some amazing people, before and after the show! I hope you take the time to admire the students work! Congratulations SAIC students!

Enjoy,
