~Once Upon A Time Collection~ Hits the Runway

2011-11-24T07:44:00.000-08:00

My Collection debuting at Fresh Traditions V

I decided to explore a new art form this year and tried sewing for the first time. It was a challenge since I’ve never sewn anything in my life! Not to mention I do have a needle phobia. Let’s just say I was in a euphoric state of mind when creating this collection. I had so much fun designing all of the models outfits, hair, makeup and even the nails. I had an amazing creative team and my models rocked the runway!

Big thanks to The Ko Productions for composing and playing LIVE during my line!

I’m currently working on another collection debuting in 2013 so please stay tune!

P.S
My dream is to design a Cirque Du Soleil Show...
