it is now Sunday morning, and while doing my hair in the mirror, it dawns on me this is the last show of the season. Although I am well aware that there will be more shows in the near future; a part of me always feel a tad bit emotional that KCFW is wrapping up. On the other hand, I do feel a small bit of relief knowing that for the first time after the shows end I can finally get some sleep. Despite the exhaustion, system full of caffeine, and a weeks worth mound of clothes piled up in my living room (lol!!!), I can honestly say it was well worth it.
Thus far I have shown you styles that really exhibited a high level of "Wow" factor. Ladies and gentlemen prepare for the "Aww" factor when you see these ridiculously cute, and colorful children's wear from Marlee Ju!
Bold chevrons, sheers and hand painted detailing made for one impressive line of cocktail and evening wear in the Spring 2015 Collection by Quite-A-Riot.
When I first saw these designs by Jessica Lynn, I immediately thought, "These would look so cute for a child's picture day!"
Sexy comes in all shapes and sizes. That was the primary message designer Hannah Caroline of Hannah Caroline Couture successfully conveyed through her latest runway creations.
This is either the second or third time I have seen tribal influences within a design aesthetic this season. However, I must say my top choice for most creative aesthetic would have to be Magnetic Threads.
The first thing that came to mind when I first saw these designs by Meredith Lockhart Collections was the Old West meets modern day cosmopolitan city girl. And you know what? I LOVE it!!!
Most professional athletes prefer to utilize whatever downtime they have before a big game to rest or go over play strategies. While the rest of his teammates were doing just that, Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver Dwayne Bowe showed off his designing chops with his line of children's wear entitled LBOWE.
As I said my thank yous and goodbyes to the KCFW staff and left the main hall of the Union Station for the final time this season, I couldn't help but to begin a moment of reflection. I reflected on how wonderful this season's collections were, how friendly everyone was and how truly blessed I am to have the opportunity to be a part of this field. And with that, I am definitely looking forward to a brand new season in March. I hope you are too. Until next time lovelies, stay fabulous!!!
