Costume Design Fashion Show

Lights, camera, Chinese dragon!... Wait what?? Chinese dragon?... That's how the saying goes right? 

At least that's how it went this time... I was recently in a fashion show with the design department that I am a part of in my college, and they literally had a Chinese dragon go through the halls of the hotel where the event was held! It. Was. SO. COOL! Alright, now that I got that out of my system I can tell you lovelies about how the actual show went! I've walked in a fashion show before for the Project Style competition in the Summer of 2012, but this was the first fashion show I've walked in since then! FIVE YEARS later!!! It was still small, but such an amazing and unique experience. The Project Style show was focused more on styling pieces from stores, while this show was featuring student designs and work! The look that I wore was an Asian inspired silk dress that was actually made up of three separate pieces: a bodice, a skirt, and an over-dress that gave it detail and a gorgeous train in the back! The other pieces included dresses from the Elizabethan era, Go Go dancer outfits, and other artistic pieces. 

If you guys want to see more from behind the scenes of the show, I made a vlog of my experience:

Hope you all have a fabulous day and I'll catch you in my next post!!

Flashback Friday: Project Style 2012

Since today is Friday and I haven't posted in awhile, I decided to do a "flashback friday" post! I chose the time I was in the Project Style competition two years ago! It was such an amazing experience and it gave me so much confidence! I had a bunch of fun walking the runway, plus, I got free clothes! Basically, we had one hour to put together an outfit from stores in the mall and we were given a $200 gift card to buy the clothes. When the hour was up, we had to walk the runway in front of a table of judges. I didn't win, but I had so much fun that I literally felt like the winner! After the fashion show, we got to keep the clothes and I actually got to take home the sign that they had displayed in the mall! It had my picture on it!! This fashion competition was without a doubt, one of the best experiences I have had so far!

Here are some pictures:

 

So I hope you enjoyed this little flashback :) Let me know if you have any fun memories! I'd love to hear about it! Have a fabulous day!
