Article from Ottawa Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011

Here is an article I found about my show for Spring/Summer 2011!
The show went on in October, I had about 17 peices,
The models were great and the new venue is gorgeous, but unfortunately there wasn't much organisation and planning done for the backstage area....
The show still managed to be a success, after alot of steaming, hurriedly dressing models, and getting them onstage I felt so good seeing the girls walking my peices down the runway, I was proud!

So here is the article.

and here are a few photos,
enjoy ;)

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!

Vacation

I've just returned from easter vacation, what a way to rejuvenate the soul!

I have energy again, time to get ready for another trip to Nigeria.

In 2-3 weeks (after the stress of buying ticket aquiring visa) I will be flying to Africa (with a stop in Paris ;) I'm so excited!
I'll be starting the process of importing african fabrics into Canada, right now I'm researching all the laws and taxes I need to know about.

On another note, the Ottawa fashion week show was amazing! I had alot of fun working with nice and extremely helpfull people, the show was so organised! I had a great experience. and I have the photos from the runway show! :D Fall 2010 line, the full line will be on the website in a few days but here is a sneak peak:

My good friend Robert Gilbert and photographer Michel Cipriani, made the trip out to Ottawa to do photos of the runway shows for Thursday night.
