Runway Photos!

As the press coverage comes trickling in, we wanted to share with you some of our favorite shots of the runway.  What a magical affair...we took over Millennium Park in downtown Chicago with fashionable glamour, showcasing 6 looks from our upcoming Spring 2012 collection, Magic Garden. The show included 15 designers in all, each a particpant of the Chicago Fashion Incubator, and was presented by Macy's and Chicago Social Magazine, with models from Ford Model Management and live musical accompaniment plus amazing violinist who at times walked the runway herself while playing.  We were also pleasantly surprised to have the lovely (and very dapper dressed) actor Billy Zane in attendance!  Please enjoy:

Thank you so much to everyone for their hard work and amazing talent in making this show a success! We would love to hear your comments about what you think of these newest pieces!  <3

XOXO.

Fashion Focus!

My goodness, I think we are about due for a blog update, no?  It is always busy over here in the lacy confines of Dottie's Delights headquarters, but this month of October is just unprecedented.  But, in a good way, so I am certainly not complaining.  ;)  Wholesale orders, custom orders, special photo shoots, fashion shows, oh my!

Thus, I must be getting back to it, but I just wanted to make sure everyone has purchased their tickets to our fabulous runway presentation at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago for this Tuesday.  We will be kicking off Fashion Focus, which is a weeklong celebration of the thriving local fashion industry in our fair city, and we will have some very special guest and surprises (gosh, I wish I could share them all!)  This will be the first in-person look at our Spring 2012 offerings and I just can't wait.

It will be a grand affair you definitely do not want to miss.  See you there!
