Art Fashion Creation Spring 2017 Fashion Show

Tremendous Thank You to my excellent KFW show models who brought the clothing to life with their creative and unique presentations. Show theme: Kamama Hanamichi. Butterfly Flowerpath. Emphasizing life cycles and metamorphosis... transitions. After 2.5 months of nonstop designing, drafting, wrangling measurements, altering, sewing - and then navigating the logistics of the show itself, I didn't have time to photograph those hard-working models... so for now, my only fitting mannequin - and Nature - will have to suffice. After viewing individual garments, you'll find behind-the-scenes workroom photos at this Toile La La link.
