Ottawa Fashion Week

Check out all the photos from the Ottawa fashion week show showcasing the Fall 2010 line here

I would like to thank all the coordinators from the show who were so organised and amazing to work with! http://www.ottawafashionweek.ca
And also the Models, from Barret Palmer, Angie's Models and Models International Management
And thank you to Jennifer Laoun-Rubenstein for providing the jewelry and accesories for the show!

The show was a lot of fun,
it was a little stressfull because I received the invitation to present my collection only 2 weeks before the show! but it worked out in the end after many sleepless nights of preperation.
I was just watching a bikini or bust episode where the exact same thing happened to them, they had 2 weeks to prepare for a fashion week: http://www.ashleypaige.com/videos/index.html
the only difference is she had an entire team to help her, I did it all alone. I still don't understand how I managed... I designed, drafted the patterns, sewed all the samples, fitted the models, all by myself : For next fashion week I am definately hiring people to help me out! And I will have more time to do so.
I'll be spending time now getting a team together!

Yesterday we stayed up all night shooting with Robert Gilbert my two gorgeous models were Mihaela and Kathleen, who are also members of the band XOX, and my good friend Genevieve Joly was our talented makeup artist for the night! We had so much fun, the dresses looked amazing on the girls, and we got very creative with the makeup and the looks, I can't wait to see the finished product!!

As for finished photos, here is one by Nic Small, and model Lynne, Farhat was the makeup artist for this shoot, she's wearing a strapless slightly a-line dress from the spring 2010 line. Fabric made in Ghana.
