Thursday was the opening night of Phoenix Fashion Week, who I've been working with for the past two weeks. The theme was Fashionably Pink. Each designer created one look that was auctioned off with all the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen. I'm really happy about that. Speaking of, pretty soon I plan on getting work done to see whether or not I have the breast cancer gene. It's pretty scary, but I don't want to pretend like I'm magically not going to be affected by it. Renee doesn't have it, which is good, but that means it's more likely that I do, which is not good. Anyway, that's for a different post. I worked as a dresser backstage and got to work with designers like Jazmin Whitley of Li Cari (who is apparently the star of House of Jazmin on MTV) and Qristyl Frazier of Project Runway (Season 6 a.k.a. now). After runway 1 I went to runway 2 at Suede Lounge and had a lot more say and intimacy, I guess, with the designers since it was a smaller show. You should definitely check out encolor. Their last look was this fantastic kimono and the heels were kickass.
Friday was incredibly hectic. I was assigned three models. One wasn't really around, she had two outfit changes. The other was so sweet, she had 3 changes but they were all fairly far apart so it wasn't crazy. My third girl, on the other hand, was in 7 shows and walked twice in 3 of them, so 10 outfit changes. I don't think I can dress myself as fast as I dressed her. We had jean malfunctions, a skirt went MIA and changes from wedges to vans to stilettos to running sneakers. As crazy as it was, it was so much fun! Check out J.Garten shoes, Peter Kent handbags, Kiss the Girl, and Timothy Maurice (I was fond of my model's white one piece bathing suit). Privacy had some pretty nice jeans and t-shirts, too. Even though this night was way more intense than Thursday, I still found time to stand on the side to watch. My mom was in charge of the camera. She got some good pictures but most models are either cut out of the frame or people are in the way of the shot. I'll try to remember to upload pictures but it seems like I always forget when I say that.
Saturday isn't over yet. I was there at 8 this morning but not much needed to be done. The Style Villa was cool, but a bit disorganized. I would have liked to sit in on the Education Seminar instead. One of the girls working with me has an extra All Access VIP ticket so I'm going to join her tonight. I can actually take pictures so hopefully I'll get some good ones!
