Austin Fashion Week 2011: Kick-Off Party Summary
above: me and Joanna. below: me and Tim's view of the stage from our seats.
Team Adored Austin should need no introduction to the blogosphere...Indiana and Rachel.
The dress on the presenter is like cotton candy and I love it.
The set up of the runway. The entire runway was black studded leather since the kickoff show was a rocker/biker theme. I forgot to take pics of my seats (thanks Kristen!) but they were right where the lady in black and white in the front of the stage was standing.
my heart swooned when these kids came on stage... SO ADORABLE
and then Betsey Johnson's collection was shown in the first half of the show while the local collections were still being prepped. I want that teal poufy skirt! Also, watching a Betsey Johnson collection from the front row was surreal.
After a short intermission with a band playing, the first mash-up looks (a randomly paired team of accessories/clothing/shoes/makeup/jewelry/hair people putting together 1 cohesive look) came on the runway...
I was so proud of my friend Anslee when this teal number came down the runway. She designs an amazing plus-sized line and has repeated insisted on using a true plus sized model. I also LOVE that peacock feathered tote.
this dress is one of my favorites from the mashup teams...
Wouldn't be my blog without a few pictures of shoes. I'm digging this feathered concoction...
a "fabulous" toolbox. love.
I want her beehive hair!
once again, balloons + kids = win.
full body shot available on the facebook album, but I love how this model actually walked en pointe in ballet shoes the entire time on the runway. I love details like that...
the boots!!
Professional shots by my friend Waytao Shing. More of his shots are uploaded on to a facebook album HERE. Waytao does a lot of amazing concert photography from Slash to Taylor Swift and was kind enough to show me how to shoot in manual settings and give me other little photography helpful tidbits during the show intermission. Check his website out!
