It all started out with my experience in the fashion and arts world here and around the area. I wanted fashion to be more accessable to the community, to all people, of any shape or size, income, or ethnic background. The first show was a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, who had such great talents, ideas and presentations that always inspired me. He held fashion shows in all kinds of unsual places, like garages, ice rinks, and warehouses.

So what exactly is it you may be asking!? "A Day of Fashion", is a day for everyone in the area to come out and show their support for the fashion industry. Models strut their stuff, designers show off their works, photographers professional and amature capture some great looks outside in the park. Also it was to be a chance for people to network and meet others in the fashion & arts field. Finally an event where other inspiring artist can take part. Open runway time gave a chance for the daring to take their first walk on the runway. I hoped this event would pass along the inspiration to others in the community to make things happen. 

"Free to the Fashionable & Open to the Public". The event was totally free (and will aways be) to all taking part, even the local area boutiques I invited to showcase their stores, that sell local area fashions. Having a completely free public show, this added the biggest part of the challenge! I had to find sponsors to share my vision and help support this event and its costs. It happen thought, I, We and the community, came together and it happened when others said it couldn't. Next goal it to be bigger and better! 

So on to the up & coming, this spring/summer, will be the 2nd Annual "A Day of Fashion ~Orchestrated Elegance". The theme this year inspired by Music, like fashion with a careful plan and conducting, makes beautiful harmony.
