Miami Photoshoot TEASER

I spent some time in Miami Florida early this month shooting fashion looks and flying kites.

While the release date for most of the photos from the shoots are pending, here are two fantastic teasers which have been released by fashion photographer Andrew Kung, as well as some behind the scenes footage. I will keep you posted on the rest when I get more details!

FASHION'S NIGHT OUT 2011

If everyone is only half as excited as I am, then you should be jumping up and down! The Lexington Fashion Collaborative (the same amazing group that brought us Future of Fashion) is bringing FASHION'S NIGHT OUT to Lexington!!

Now if you read the fashion bible (aka VOGUE) regularly, then you are probably familiar with this event. If not, then here is an overview: Fashion's Night Out is a global initiative in partnership with American VOGUE and the CFDA to bring together fashion retailers and all lovers of fashion to provide awareness about what your town has to offer! Stores participating in this event are usually open until 11PM! This is great because is gives people who normally would have a chance to get out during business hours, time to shop shop SHOP! What a fantastic economy booster!

Keeneland Concours d'Elegance HANGAR BASH 2011

What a fabulous evening it was for two of Lexington Fashion Collaborative's designers Soreyda Benedit and Maui Crane as they displayed their creations during at fashion show at this years Keeneland Concours d'Elegance Hangar Bash! After the annual car show, a snazzy soiree was held in an airplane hangar at the Lexington airport. There were cars, amazing aircraft, great food, haute fashions, and even a salsa band complete with latin dancers! What more could you want from a summer night?!
A group of models including myself from the LFC put on a show for the crowds and wowed them with Soreyda Benedit's impeccable fashion designs and Maui Crane's exquisite accessories.



"Historically, Concours d’Elegance, or “a gathering of elegance,” originated in Paris during the 1920s. The Concours quickly became not only an event for automobile manufacturers to parade the latest edition of extravagant automobiles, but also a spot for fashion designers to showcase the latest styles. The Keeneland Concours d’Elegance is pleased to bring this tradition to Kentucky in celebration of the automobile, which consistently ranks in the top 10 attractions and events of Central Kentucky as awarded by Southeast Tourism Society and Kentucky Tourism Council." ~ Julie Meador for UK News

I am already looking forward to next year!
