 Happy Weekend! I haven't forgotten about you, just been busy!! But guess what, the show is today! I'm so nervous and excited and scared...all at the same time.  Luckily, I have these fabulous models to help bring all my designs to life.  It's so scary putting yourself on display through your art but having these lovely women (two of which are my awesome sisters) who are excited to help, definitely makes it a bit easier.
So, this morning, I thought I'd talk about my designs and what  inspired them.  I'm inspired by a lot of things, not usually just one.  My original idea was "Casino Royale".  I just love love love James Bond movies and am always excited to see who the Bond girls are and what they're wearing.  My favorite kind of clothing to design and create is evening dresses.  Lets just say, I love the Red Carpet.  I thought, "Casino Royale" is perfect!! Then, I got a little influence by Mad Men, another one of my faves.  I just love that retro look, so much fun.  And last but not least....Parisian Chic.  One of the places I would love to visit, as I mentioned before , is Paris, France.  One reason is, I would love to see Chanel's place on Rue Cambon....and then all the art and architecture....oh and can't forget that Monet is one of my favorite artists....so yeah lots I would love to do!  Anyhow, my designs deviated a bit from my original idea but now share several inspirations and I think make it uniquely, me.  I chose the song "Hotel Nacional" for my models to walk to by Gloria Estefan.  I heard it once and thought, ok gotta use this!  Its up beat, fun and seems to represent all my inspirations. Can't wait to share them with everyone!
