Fall Fashion Fiesta 2018

So, I got this crazy idea to do a poster with PEOPLE on it. 

Which in itself was a pretty good idea.

PEOPLE.... as in one of them is me?

(Geez. Did not think this one all the way through!) 

Somehow, I forgot how much I DETEST posing.

For the "photo-shoot" each of us wore something 

that we had designed and brought a second item 

as a work-in-progress for the mannequin.

Dalia and Adry were great! 

 

Well, here is the finished photo

for the 2018 Fall Fashion Fiesta poster:   

I had a few other ideas. . . 

Thinking it might be cool to see us all hard at work, we 

each grabbed sewing tools and came up with this pose: 

And, finally after all that hard work

we opened a bottle of wine: 

It is a little stressful smiling and posing repeatedly. Ugh.

But, I am pretty sure that Manny (our photographer) 

had the most difficult job of all. 

He was super patient with our crazy ideas 

and somehow he made the photos work!   

Thank you Manny!

"Life's too short 

to wear boring clothes!"

...and now, BACK TO THE SEWING MACHINE

Fashion Frenzy

So, I was checking out some of the 

Fashions going down the Runways for 2017.

Wanted to get some inspiration....

Hmmm. Who is going to be wearing these?

My Opinions:

First off the shoes are all BEYOND BAD.

The mis-matched socks, hilarious. 

The girl in pink looks extremely ill.

Somewhat "home-made" quality to a couple of these, huh?

However, I do Love that the stripes are not horizontal.

_______________________________________________________

My Opinions:

Again. . . The shoes. Ugh.

Somebody forgot their slip...

Somebody is wearing their pillowcase.

The stripes, hat and tennis shoes is just a Mess (and, not hot).

And, the blue and green looks like a craft project gone awry. 

However, I do kinda like the big bow in front of that pink dress.

________________________________________________________

My Opinions:

The girl in blue is definitely in some witness protection program.

Another forgotten slip...

Angry girl with a bad hair day and doo-dads gone berserk.

And, another girl with the flu, perhaps? 

However, I do Love the blue shoes. Super-cute.

_______________________________________________________

Now, for a few that I found that I like... 

My Opinions:
What's not to Love. . . black and white polka dots!
And, a funky cool big necklace.

The bohemian dress has fun colors....

The navy with stripes - Simple and elegant...and thinning, too.

And the sunny yellow one, just the bodice is spectacular.
Plus, the shoes are classics!



Ok!  I have some inspiration.
Thanks for joining me.
Now, I gotta get busy. . .

Festival of Spain Fashion Show - March 20, 2016

This Fiesta called the Festival of Spain and its first ever Fashion Show,

"Moda Flamenca"

was held at the Phoenix Center for the Arts.

I spent weeks getting things ready for the show. 

Russ and I set up a booth on Sunday morning to display some of my things. 

A few of my friends (along with some of their friends)

all gathered on Sunday afternoon at my booth. 

I had dresses that I was hoping would be right for each of them

and I had made up some flower hairpieces, too. 

Everyone was ready . . . (we dressed really fast because the 

dressing room area was really hot and stuffy!)

It was air conditioned in the hallway...

And so we waited!

  

There were great dance presentations on the stage outdoors.

Finally, we were lined up and ready to go. 

Each of our faces showed a tiny bit of stress or nervousness, I think.

Each dress has been Re-Created from other items. 

 First off, I will show you the dress that sold before it could be modeled.

It is a great example of how I take a few pieces of clothing 

and then add some detailing and remake them into a new dress. 

Ok... Now on with the Fashion Show

Note:  Some photo collages will also show what I started with. 

 

 

 

 

 Two of the dresses were from prior shows and 

so have been modeled previously.

 

  

After the other designers had also shown their designs, 

we were all invited back to the stage. 

What a fun day! 

We all had a fun "finale" moment... stomping our feet - flamenco style!

Thank you to my fantastic volunteer girls!
Thank you to Angelina at Flamenco por la Vida for inviting me.

Thank you to my great friends from Penasco who came up, joined the audience 

on a warm Phoenix afternoon, just to cheer us on! 

Thank you for the great photographs, Jam Sani Photography.

PS I guess I will have to show you my dress.... 

I really love it and the fabric is fantastic! 

~ it turned out pretty dang "classy" ~
