Valentine's Pin-Up Photo Shoot Event!

I am soo excited to finally be able to announce a fabulous event that I have been dreaming of for ages!  It just so happens we were able to pull it off just in time for Valentine's Day with some amazing sponsors to boot!

We are partnering up with Benefit Cosmetics to take over the entire 9th floor event space at Macy's on State Street and we are going BIG!

In celebration of the Lily Collection, my official debut collection which is coming out this spring,  we are putting together 3 different classic pin-up vignettes and transforming guests head-to-toe with luxury pin-up glamour for your very own professional fashion photoshoot!  One vignette to suit every personality:  the ultra girlie all pink set, the Bettie Page inspired "bad girl" scene, and the more classic elegance boudoir set (think natural sexy getting ready in the mirror of your vanity style)!

This is open to everyone, we are a super sweet all girl team and will make you look your best in a warm and welcoming environment!  No modeling experience necessary!  *But* if you ARE interested in modeling, you are more than welcome to sign one of our model releases and we would love to post your photos with appreciation and/or submit to publication with pin-up magazines!  Otherwise, those photos are for your eyes only (or at least only the ones *you* chose to share with, feisty lady!)

There are so many extra goodies and perks to this event, I hardly know where to begin!

Launch Party Tomorrow!

Don't forget!  The CFI Launch Party is tomorrow!!  I know, it's crept up so fast!  Buy those tickets today, because you won't be able to get them at the door!  Come tomorrow to meet me and the other 2010 designers in residence, see sneak previews of what our lines are really all about, and celebrate all of the alumni successes while shopping their lines at the pop-up shop!  Kate Boggiano, Audey, Anna Hovet, Furio, Zamarie and more!  Plus, complimentary food and drinks generously provided by Svedka Vodka!  So, please come and show support for the Chicago Fashion Incubator, because it really is a fantastic non-profit organization and who doesn't love a good fashion benefit?  P.S. I will be all decked out, 50's pin-up style!  I encourage everyone else to do the same!  ;)  BUY TICKETS HERE!

If you are interested in getting a custom lingerie set from me, or a personalized bra fitting, corset fitting, bridal lingerie consultation, please come to our more intimate 2010 Designer Trunk Show on March 20th from noon-8pm!  The Launch Party is more of a meet and greet and celebration, but if you want to get into business, the trunk show is where to be.  Remember, all of these events are taking place at the luxurious 900 Shops, located on 900 N. Michigan, 5th floor.  There are two stores: the Pop-Up Shop, which will be open every Thursday through Sunday for one month, and the Event space next door, which houses all of the trunk shows, fashion shows, and other special happenings of all the Incubator participants.  Check out the entire calendar of events:
