Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our launch party, it was such a blast! The place was packed, the Pop-Up Shop looks amazing, the food and drinks were delicious, and the hot models on pedestals didn't hurt either! I really wish I was able to talk to everyone, those two hours really do just fly by. As promised here are some photo highlights from the event:
The six of us, enjoying our successes! From left to right: Jonnie Rettele of Nonnie Threads, Leah Fagan of Peloton, Stephanie Kuhr (me!) of Dottie's Delights, Donaldo Smith of Killian Gui, Miriam Cecilia Carlson of m.c.c. and Christina Fan of C/Fan
The Pop-Up Shop filled with merchandise from the CFI alumni
Some examples of our work.
