Little Black Dress

It's been awhile since I've posted-- and neglecting my blog makes me feel guilty.  Luckily I experienced something beyond exciting this past week in The Fashion School here at Kent, and I can't wait to share it with you. :)

Last Wednesday, the 23rd, The Fashion School put on a fashion show called The Little Black Dress Sophomore Walk Off, which showcased the immense talent present in the school.  I am enrolled in a two-credit hour class that details the behind-the-scenes production of a fashion show, and as a member of the class I was able to witness first-hand the hardwork that went into the show.  It was so interesting to see everyone's dedicated planning evolve into a smooth production.  

I also had the amazing opportunity to model in the show.  It was so much fun, and I am hoping the designers who created the two garments I wore in the show were satisfied with my performance on the runway.     

Seeing as how the designers were all just sophomores, I was blown away by the creativity and edge of all the designs.  You wouldn't have to ask me twice to take home the two designs I wore...They honestly were stunning pieces of art, and they definitely put a modern spin on the classic black dress. 

All of the profit garnered from the show will go toward producing The Fashion School's Annual Fashion Show: The Time is Now, which is to be held at the end of April.  Stay tuned!

  Here is a backstage photo of some of the models in the Walk Off, wearing the designs of talented sophomore design students.  I am pictured second from right.
