Clothing Swap Fundraiser

A little while ago, Artist Collective and MODISTA teamed up for a "clothing swap" AKA: THE BEST FUNDRAISER EVER! Brilliant idea.  Kudos to the person who thought of it.  It involves getting new clothing, getting rid of old clothing, raising money, and having fun.  Hopefully we will be able to have another clothing swap in the future.

Rockwell...Backstage...

For a few days last weekend, Rockwell was transformed from an educational prison to a buzzing photo studio filled with designers, merchandisers, models, photographers, hair and makeup artists, and creepers (enter: me).  It was really exciting to wander around the building and see so many people working together to create these beautiful images.
 So as not to blow the whole load, here are some pictures of the finishing touches-hair and makeup.  And heres a quote to explain why you should be excited: 
"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail-then you can dream the rest around it." -Dries Van Noten

Liz smocking and being surprisingly normal...



Karissa's domination over curved seams

Sam's sexy menswear

Staci's amazing coat. That I NEED.
