Holiday Fashion Show

I just booked a holiday fashion show in Omaha, NE! I'm really looking forward to this show for a couple of reasons. This will be the first show that I will actually be able to set up and sell my own designs, and it's only an hour from my home town so a lot of my friends and family will be able to be there. I've been trying to work in a show closer to home, and this one fell right into my lap! It means a lot to me to be able to share this experience with those who have been right by my side supporting and encouraging me from the beginning.

I will be participating in Raw again making this my 5th show with them. I started showcasing in August of 2013, and to have 5 shows added to my resume in such a short time frame is something I'm very proud of. I've work extremely hard these last couple of months, and what better way to end the year then with a holiday fashion show!!

I'm a huge advocate for Raw because it has opened up so many doors and opportunities for me. I've met so many talented and creative people that I've been able to collaborated with. Every show gets better, I'm able to network more and really get my name out there, plus it's just great experience to add to my resume. I love these independent/underground shows...this is exactly where I need to be right now as I continue to grow my brand and grow as a designer.

So although I have a show to prep for this coming month, I will still be in the running for Chicago's Fashion Designer Of The Year. I was told that might start in January once these holiday showcases have ended so I have that to look forward to as well.  I'm extremely competitive especially when it comes to something I'm passionate about, and I really want to win this competition! Fingers crossed I can get the votes I need from those who follow and support me.
