Since my last post several things have gone on...
I met with the current producers. I was a bit worried about how it would go, but everything went smoothly. Everything appears to be together, and they are very excited about the show. :-) Big ideas going on.
Five out of the eleven models needed for my line have been chosen. Yay!! I will post pictures of them later.
The producers, one of them being a photographer, did a photo-shoot of me. They wanted all the designers to have one done so that they could put designer profiles on the show's website, www.creativeambitionsfashion.com (still undergoing some construction). The shoot was only mildly embarrassing and nerve racking. lol The photographer, Okeye, was great, and my pictures turned out good. So I am happy, however, I would prefer that I not have to do another shoot anytime soon. Mostly because my arms never know what to do, annoying skinny things! :-P I think next time I'll just try to emulate Schwarzenegger in Mr. Universe. :-P
A preview party with Vie Magazine has been discussed. The party will "preview" a few looks from each of the three designers' lines. This will be for the benefit of the companies advertising with Vie Magazine and sponsors of the show. I have not yet decided on which garments will be shown at the party. Vie magazine's website is www.viezine.com .
Decisions... I believe that I have finally settled on the show line up for my garments. We'll see how long this decision lasts!
Next week I hope to do a few fittings so I can start deciding which models will wear what. Right now, I'm thinking the taller girls, 5'9" & up, will wear the longer dresses because I would like these dresses to be worn with flats. Pants and shorter dresses will be shown with heels and worn by the shorter models, 5'6"- 5-8". This set up will create more of a uniform flow on the catwalk.
I am currently decided on what hair and make up looks that will create the feel I want. I'm thinking defined eyes with a very natural, glowing look to the rest of the face. Hair will most likely be pulled away from the face into loose ponytails and buns.
Music still needs to be decided on, and I have yet to figure out what direction I'd like to go with. I want something strong but still soft. Any ideas?
Also working on a new website.
Other than that, I have given up anything resembling a social life and have spent everyday working on garments for the show and commissioned work for other clients. No more sleepy for Anna Maria...
