Vitamin Water Inspired by Design Fashion Show!

Phew!  We have been super busy lately, swamped with event season!  Trunk shows, fashion shows, photo parties, Viva Las Vegas, oh my!  We not finished yet, but I had to share a few of the photos from one of the latest, a really fun fashion show event sponsored by Vitamin Water, where they invited 7 local Chicago designers to showcase 2 looks based off of a Vitamin Water flavor, and 2 pieces from our own collections.  It was such an amazingly colorful event, just in time for one of the first warm days here...a perfect way to bring in the summer attitude!  We were very honored to be able to take part and bring our own flavor of sexy summer fun!

We took over the Prarie Production building for the event, complete with Vitamin Water lined runway:

While guests mingled & enjoyed these delights, 

we were in the midst of backstage prep & chaos:

 

last minute sewing is so frustrating!

So, the two flavors I was inspired by were Glow and XXX:

       

Glow inspired sparkle set (corset, halter bra, girdle skirt)

 

XXX inspired corsolette full shaper dress

And from the real collections, I chose a new bridal set (I wish you could see all of the detail in the English netting lace!)

And a piece from the Spring/Summer Lily Collection, with the new, revamped bra (available now!)

me.
