Fashion Week 2013: LaCoste

This year is the 80th anniversary of Lacoste. It is one of my favorite shows, not becasue of the clothes but because of the male models! Only a few shows during fashion week have menswear. I got to work with three cuties! And I got a special treat at the end of the show!

The model on the right is Guerrino. He is a cute Belgian who speaks Flemish! He is the first person I have ever met who spoke Flemish. He was really sweet!

The model on the left is Noma, so cute!

The model on the left is Authur. Authur was quiet.

Ok, I didn't work with the model on the right, but the girl who did excepted a tobacco something or other from him that he told her to try ...and she did. We thought she was crazy to except "product" from a model, if you know whatI mean! The smile he had on his face was priceless. We knew he was suspect, but he was so cute! LOL!

The model on the left is 24 y.o Frenchmen Clement! That's Grace on the right who I dressed on Thursday at Richard Chai.

The designer, Felipe Oliviera.

Some backstage shots before and after the Eshow!

Clement est tres beau!! He is French hotness! He complimented me on my French!

The lovely Grace looking very serious.

The sweet Flemish cutie, Guerrino.

These are my guys in line waiting for the show to start.

I was feeling punch drunk silly and completely wonky! I look like I felt, like a tired hag.

Guerrino, me( don't judge! lol!)Aurthor and Noma.
These guys were so sweet! It gave me back that sense of fun I use to have during fashion week. Good show!

Fashion Week 2013: Academy of Art University

This was the last show of a long fashion day! The link below is to the video of this show.

http://www.academyart.edu/fashionshow/2013-02-08_new_york.html

This is a collective of about five differnet designers form the university. I am feeling too lazy to find pictures and names of them all.

The pictures are in random order as the site I got them from didn't have the full show and blogger kind of mixed the pictures during dowload and I didn't feel like rearranging them.

My model,Eve, in her first look, which I like!

I thought this group was really cute. I liked how it was styled. Styling is so important. And it's cohesive! You know how I like cohesiveness!

This picture seems so random, but the ste I got it from had only so many pictures that they posted.

This group was nice. They could use more accessories in my opinion.

This was a lovely group as well!

The model on the right is my model, Eve in her second look.

And Eve n ther third look and my favorite and apparently everyone elses from the amount of people who came backstage to take pictures with her in this great coat! I was told the coat weight about 50 pounds and it felt like it!

Fashion Week Fall 2013: Chadwick Bell

This show was at the Pennsylvania hotel...well, not quite. It was around the corner and down the street entering through a freight entrance, not exactly at the hotel, but anyway....

I so loved the necklaces used in theis show! The were painted would braclets with a piece of ribbon threaded through and tied around the neck! An easy do it yourself project to accessorize your outfits. I'm going to make a necklace for myself this weekend!

I liked this collection. It was cohesive and wearable. And as I stated above, loved the necklaces.

I really like this look, although I would be wearing boots.

This would make a nice maternity shirt!

My model, Grace. Loved the boots.

Loved this look with the velvet cumberbun and the necklace I so loved! This is probably my favorite look in this show.

This is Daria. I helped her into this dress that did not fit properly and had to be tapped to keep it from falling down. It was a pretty dark blue velvet.
