So the fashion show came and went, and a wave of peace and tranquility has been washing over me ever since, after 9 months of planning, designing, sewing and general hair pulling, the show went without a hitch...... at least for me anyway.
Top 3 grumbles overheard back stage at Edmonton Fashion Week Fall/Winter 08 (Grad show)
1. Why has this model dieted after I have altered the garment to fit her?
2. Why does my garment rack keep collapsing everytime I turn my back? (ok this was me)
3. Why did I make a garment for myself which is completely see through? (but only in the butt area) this one's for you Lacey K.
Ok.... despite all of this, a stolen portfolio and an abundance of hissy fits, tears and diva tantrums it went well.
The models were awesome and considering we stalked most of them around town until they gave in and said they'd do it they 'worked it out' (said in a drag queen screech complete with finger waving and body swerve) on the run way.
Names to watch out for in Edmonton/Canada/the world......
Ruby Murray - Military, Euro style with beautifully tailored silhouettes featuring unique zipper detailing.
Sleeping Buddha - Organic, earth friendly fabrics transformed into fashion forward separates.
Gin & Tea - Bringing vintage inspired Sunday best frocks and smart casual menswear to every day wear.
Neihya - Inspired by beautiful fabrics from far and wide, detailed clothing in flattering fits with amazing attention to detail and bold use of colour.
Photos didn't turn out as good as they could have so not a huge amount to choose from but a whole lot better than the professional photographer that took 95% of shots side on and clearly had no experience in fashion photography (ho hum!!)
Catch ya later buds and check back for the photos, not to be missed.
