BUUUTTT let me give you a quick summary of how each night went down (or was suppose to go down) the actual show first began with 3 approximately 10 min runway shows for local boutiques. AND dont get confused here-these aren't your mom and pop boutqiues either. these are FASHION FORWARD ahhmazingly styled shows (ex Copper Penny/Hampden Clothing). next there would be a 45 minute break (well a break for the audience not us) and then four emerging designers would present 8 pieces out of their fall 2011 collection (to be judged by the people and by the judges- Mychael Knight/Fern Mallis/Gilt Group Co Founder)!!! lastly the show would end with a featured designer (like Hunter Dixon) and then finally they would announce the winner of emerging designer competition for the night (who would then go on to compete in the final competition Saturday night) got all that??
OKKKAAYYY so back to what my eyes saw friday night. it was the most BEAUTIFUL.WHIMSICAL.INTRICATE.ASTONISHING.AND GASPING COLLECTION EVER. and i wasn't the only one who thought this. the audience and judges gave a standing ovation to the lovely collection.
so who is she? CHARLOTTE HESS and her lines is ISOBEL AND CLEO and it is ALL HAND-MADE. yup these beautiful knitted garments are all made by miss charlotte herself. as i cued each model i couldn't help but almost miss my cue bc i was so mesmerized by each piece. its one thing to design a garment but its another thing hand knit each garment too. ANNNDDD these pieces aren't from your grandmas knitting collection either- they are actually STYLISH & WEARABLE. i'll stop talking now and let the pictures do the rest.
ps. i also met charlotte for a brief second and helped her move her collection into the tents. and she was the NICEST. SWEETEST. FUNNIEST. MOST DOWN TO EARTH PERSON EVER. every desinger needs to take cues from her.
pss. will you except my friends request already???
