10 days until the Chicago show, and things seem to be working themselves out. I was a little apprehensive about finding my own models for this show, but word of mouth through supporters and friends has made this search surprisingly easy. I'm looking forward to working with the people booked for this showcase.
Now with that said..I'd be a little naive to think the night will go smoothly as planned. I've done 3 independent shows within this last year, and I know how unpredictable and stressful they can be when it's go time. Although it's a fun/laid back night filled with art, music, and fashion...behind the scenes can feel a lot like a panic attack. So as the days get closer, i'll work vigorously on any last minute details hoping and praying my designs will be runway ready in time for the show.
I wasn't able to fit a photo shoot in before the show since i'm currently working on my gowns, but here are some pictures of what I've been designing so far.
