So last night was a amazing! I sat front row right at the end. It's quite different to be part of the audience. I'm used to running fashion shows or changing models backstage. The enjoyment and excitement to be able to run a fashion show smoothly is an adrenaline rush. I definitely appreciate the amount of work people put in these shows. But for once I felt relaxed at a fashion show.
After the show was able to meet the designers who have show cased their work. There were 3 designers that have interested me the most:
- OCO Bags
- Give it Bag
- Desired Crochet
OCO Bags is by designer Cynthia O. Her designs are influenced by African prints. This interest me because of a recent project I am currently working on. A friend of mine Jordan had an opportunity to live in Africa for the summer. He brought back his interest of African textiles and stories of their unfortunate lifestyles. Just like designer Cynthia, Jordan created ideas influenced by the culture of African textiles and mixed it with modern America. You can visit their site at http://www.ocobags.com
Give it Bag is a nonprofit organization that uses recycles materials from South Africa. Any company that gives back to the community is always a big plus for me! This company demonstrates innovation, by using these wasted durable materials and creating practical accessories. Each bag is unique with its own number. You can visit their site at http://www.give-it-bag.com
Desired Crochet is by designer Tiombe Johnson. Her craftsmanship is amazing! Being able to look and feel her work was very beautiful. I've had my share of crochet and knitting, however her perfected technique makes these accessories worth it. You can check out her work at http://www.etsy.com/people/DesiredCrochet
Here are some picture form the event!
