First, I have to thank all the people I met involved with Project Ethos. I am very impressed with how well run their organization is and how much work they put into each show. I was there all day doing what I do best and observing my surroundings, just soaking it all in.
This event was a little different for me, as much as I want to stick with the bridal industry, I realize that I am so much more than a bridal gown designer. With this show, I really had fun with my vitaminwater zero design for my flavor "go go." When I was designing my piece, I regained the love I have for color and fun with textiles.
In the end, I didn't win the competition. The winner was based on live text voting and my understanding that this was not my usual target market helped me let go of any animosity towards any of my competitors. I had realized with this show that whatever happens I was going to end up saying how fun the night was and I did.
Below are some links, clips and pictures of my designs and the other gowns / designers from the show. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
Well, it's quite funny how life goes sometimes. Earlier last month I vowed to make 3 gowns a week, but my business started picking up, I am doing 3 shows for the month of May and I've gone to many business seminars.
I guess good intentions can sometimes be thwarted by better opportunities. I still intend to work hard on making 3 gowns a week, but I feel that my brides deserve my full undivided attention as well as the design competition I have been selected for.
For now, I am enjoying my busy schedule, I think it may be a sign that all my hard work is paying off. Goes to show that when you keep putting 110% for what really matters it will be worth all the hard work you put in.
Here is an update from the gown below, I had time to bead it before I got busy. I have been updating my facebook fan page "Gown Whisperer," check out the post and the new pics.
