Macy's Fashion Incubator Fashion Show, Fashion Focus 2010



Hello Dottie's Fans!!!

Stephanie's intern Kelsey here to fill you all in on how amazing the CFI Fashion Focus show was!!!
First off I'd like to say just how great the tent and everyone in it looked!!  There were appetizers and drinks, mingling and fun.

Besides putting lookbooks and business cards into each gift bag (pictured on each chair), my only job for the evening was to be on 'belly button' patrol. These girl's were supposed to wear the foundations up on the natural waist, which unforunately some did not do, making their belly buttons show.  But since there were already dressers provided for the show I was unable to be backstage, therefore, unable to catch that mistake.  Just an inch or two higher and oh, the difference it makes! How frustrating!

Still, plenty of the girls pulled it off correctly or just worked their magic anyway!

The bowler hats were work of the shows stylist, but after the suggestion of a little veil for the white lingerie, Stephanie was able to contact another talented local artist: Love, Lulu Mae who ever so graciously let us borrow a few of her amazing hair pieces for not only the bride but also the two pink burlesque twins...she is so sweet and her work is AMAZING!!!!!

Stunning and edgy.

Overall, the show was a hit and I'm so glad to have been a part of it!!!
              
Stephanie, you knocked em dead, congrats!!!
