Have been away for far too long. Busy Summer of Martha's Vineyard. I was honored to work with Emma and the Citrine girls on Fashion Week. It was a long, tiring week but totally enjoyed it!
We started early Tuesday morning fitting all of our models in their outfits. I then designed jewelry for a large portion of the day to fit their outfits. Citrine models rocking Antique Key Jewelry in the fashion show...pretty sweet! I did a lot of work with funkier pieces to fit the wardrobe theme. I used large bold keys for statement pieces that hung long on a chain. I used pieces of leather cut into triangles and random shapes as well as chunky turquoise stones and old coins that I drilled. Also made so many leather cuffs for the models arms that I never want to make one again! At least for a while...
Wednesday was the show! I last minute got thrown in as a Citrine model as one of our girls bailed! Funny...I am so NOT a model! I had a fun time getting my hair did and make up did at Sea Scape Spa in Edgartown...Classy, right? We had this messy, teased updos that we rocked with leather pieces and braids and all sorts of funky stuff! Most of our outfits had Fisherman's Daughter accessories which are organic cotton striped leg warmers, arm warmers and scarves. We tied the funkiness of her work in with our hair. The show went amazing! So many awesome local designers, island photographers, and beautiful work and models...it was a success!
Thursday at Citrine we had a Trunk Show for Fisherman's Daughter and other local designers...including myself! We set up a display where Taylor (who is THE fisherman's daughter) was shown first. She was kind of our star this week :) Then as you walked further into the shop, us other designers were set up too! The trunk show was a perfect way to finish Fashion Week. Many people came in Thursday to check out our looks from the show the night before which was just what we wanted! The best part is Taylor and I did a trade. I got a new pair of organic cotton arm warmers/gloves and she got one of my key necklaces! Love trading...
When it is all said and done...Fashion Week Martha's Vineyard totally rocked!
