Stage 1: Prepping for the Runway

Hello there! How was your New Year's Eve celebration?  Did you celebrate? 

 I had a nice evening with family at a house party gathering.  It was fun.  The next day it was back to business.  I have a runway show in 34 days and there's much planning to do.

I have a go-see audition and fitting on Saturday.  I've had at least 20 RSVP and am expecting at least 5 from a local modeling agency.  Even before I select my models, I must have their look in mind.

For this show I will select a variety of ethnicities.

When it comes to the walk.  I love the swagger of Tyra Banks, the lax of Naomi Campbell, and the effortlessness of Giselle....but hey one can only hope to find a model to emulate all of those qualities.

 

 I will also lean toward models with girlie and youthful facial features.

I'm still undecided on hair, so I scoped out the 2013/2014 winter collection hairstyle runway trends of Fashion Week:

I love the dreamy up-dos here and as showcased by Cosmo,

but I will leave the final decision to the commissioned hair stylist.

I will also more than likely follow the make up trends from Fashion Week.

I love the natural beauty with pop of color on the lips and reverse French manicured nails: 

*Fingers crossed* Here's hoping for a Happy Casting Call.

Determining the looks is only half the battle. I've still got gowns to finish sewing.

Do you have any suggestions or favorite trends from Fashion Week?
