So now for the big moment, the first of four incredible fashion shows! As usual the main hall at Union Station in Kansas City looked like a scene from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Photographers, beauty vendors, cocktails and even a red carpet. Not to mention a D.J spinning the types of beats that would make anyone feel oh so en vogue.

Now on with he shows! Friday night's runway show opened with my favorite instructor from The Art Institutes. Christina Moncke and her husband John presented their line called Architexture which mixes classic elegance with a more modern twist.

The following designs are by Nataliya Meyer for Lucia's Sarto. I had the pleasure of meeting Nataliya at my very first KCFW Trunk Show visit back in 2013, and not only is she and her husband very talented designers, they are extremely down-to-earth people.

I always look forward to seeing the designs by this wonderful young woman. Her name is Kate Waltz and she is from Bennington, Nebraska. At an amazing 17 years old, she is already creating looks of a seasoned pro.
