Fashion Night Out.. September 10, 2010!!

As many of you fashion savvy girls out there know, September 10th has been deemed Fashion Night Out, “a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion,” headed by VOGUE, NYC & Co., the City of New York and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Think Anna Wintour... fashion envy if you will... I didn't get to spend my hard earned cash on this night because I was backstage for the Ala Moana Fashion Show where we showcased brands such as Cache, Betsey Johnson, Diesel, and 7 for all Mankind.. Four fashion shows on the hour lasting 15 minutes, each having 2 outfits but with a total of 4 designer segments per show.. Total of 8 looks for each model.. Definitely tests your endurance when you have this adrenaline high over and over again.. It's like your body doesn't know what you're doing.. the fun of being on stage showing off the latest trends, then when it's over, we're hanging backstage rushing to get the next hair change and makeup touchup with the 45 minutes we have left in the hour.. (finding time to munch on the cookies and grapes in between breaks).. BUT hanging with my besties and surrounded by all those clothes and makeup... perfect way to spend Fashion Night Out...

The Stage:


Backstage organized chaos:


Anna and I had our area to get ready for when the actual show was about to start... shoes layed out, clothing lineup in order, attitude on stage!



Getting our makeup done by Sephora and hair by Aveda.. Can you say bright red lips??



Getting our pose on.. what we do..


Show number one.. First and second looks (7 for all Mankind and Spiral Girl)... sassified...



Final poses for the first show..


Show number two..Third and fourth outfits... Dress from Cache, but this show was about accessories.. First was Island Girl, then Jimmy Choo handbags.. Anna getting her hair changed for the look.. Aveda has some creative hair stylists!







On our third and fourth show we had Afatia Thompson sing the entire length of the fashion show.. the kid has got some tunes!! One of my fav poses from Marisa Gey..


Show number three.. fifth fashion from Diesel and sixth from Tori Richard..





Final show.. BCBG and Cache..
