Yesterday I got to spend some quality time with a friend who also just happens to design some pretty chic clothes. Genoveva Christoff first caught my eye 2 years ago when I was writing an article on her. I stopped mid-writing to contact her and she ended up making me a custom piece.
Genoveva first showed in CMH Fashion Week's Finale Show, then was hand picked by Barney's Simon Doonan to show in NY at Lincoln Center's Diet Pepsi Style Studio show in 2012.
So proud of you my friend!

The biggest week in Midwest fashion continued Monday with Glitz & Glam at Camelot Cellars. The event benefitted HRC (Human Rights Campaign), a group working for the rights of the LGBT community.

This Saturday was the day everyone was waiting for, the CMH Fashion Week Finale Runway Show. It didn't disappoint. This is the third year for the show and this years was the inaugural event for the new downtown Hilton hotel. 10 designers walked their collections down the runway to the applause of audience. And if you've ever tried to get a fashion show audience to clap while the show is still going on, you know that's quite an anomaly. This show was just that good.

Saturday. October 18th, 2014. The Columbus Anthenaum.
The day that's been in the making since LAST October. As Style Director, the day that is a mix of nerves, anticipation and excitement.....And it was all worth it! With Project Runway's Althea Harper as the headliner and 10 exceptionally talented local designers all showing back to back, it was one phenomenal night.
Snaps from the night:

Last night Columbus saw some fabulous talent in the local modeling scene. Over 100 models tried out at The Bluestone event center to walk the runway in CMH Fashion Week's (CMHFW) October Finale Show. I was happy to sit on the judging panel for this event and can't wait for the announcement of the the chosen models. Some snaps from the night:

Live local. Love local.
2013 CMH Fashion Week designer, entrepreneur and friend , Damien Sheppard of Manufactured Products custom designed this ensemble for me. He had originally designed this for his male clientele only so it took a little convincing for him to design this for me.
The denim side zip pants are a new fave of mine.
Comfort, style, velvet detail stripe, gold zip side ....LOVE! The reptile front print sweatshirt w/elbow patch, yes please!
If you've been keeping up with me, you know I said check back "tomorrow." Well.....I thought the pro photos would be done but there are so many so not quite yet. In the meantime, check out my faves from designer Ray Marsh's Instagram. My Midwest 'King of Punk Chic.' ;-)
