As many of you know, New York Fashion Week is currently going on and this year I was lucky enough to help out with Althea Harper's Fall 2011 collection presentation! My best friend, Ashlie, has been Althea's assistant since September and asked me if I would be interested in heading up to NYC to help them prepare for the show which took place Friday, February 11. Obviously, I couldn't pass up such an amazing opportunity so Thursday morning I made my way to New York.
I worked with Ashlie, and Althea from about 1 pm on Thursday until 3 am Friday getting everything ready for the show. My main job was to finish altering all of the garments. 7 intense alterations in 14 hours is no easy task! I was amazed at how everything was going. Even though it was stressful everyone was so positive and excited to see the collection finished.
We spent the day Friday finalizing everything, I can easily say I have never been so stressed in my life! Especially when an hour and a half before call time we discovered one dress still needed serious alterations, I was a speed seamstress then and there!
The presentation turned out absolutely stunning! It was so amazing to see all of the models dressed and looking fabulous! It was a true honor to work with Althea and her team!
All twelve looks with Althea
Ashlie and I got to wear part of the collection as well!
You are so lucky! This line looks great! i wish i could have gone to a show and actually have worn some of the clothing, lol. i love the dark hues of gray throughout the collection... you look great in that pic, i like your blouse.
