KCFW - Saturday Evening Runway Shows

 The Saturday evening shows for KCFW were amazing! It ran the gamut of structured, feminine, avant-garde, and everyday wear. There were pieces that immediately caught my eye, or as soon as the model turned, it grabbed my attention from the back! You gotta love a look that has you coming and going. Here are a few of the looks, and designers, I loved.

The looks from Architexture were full of just that, texture. The folds, the gathers, and the draping were so detailed. And I loved the movement that the collection created. Some illusion, some full on flow.

 

House of Cochon was filled with futuristic, avant-garde, and dramatic looks that Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyonce, and Kesha could wear on the red carpet or on stage! 

 Koko Clemence was that designer that had the head spinning effect. Every look had something coming and going. The use of basket weave was amazing, the drapey fabrics looked so comfy and chic, and I love that there was a jumpsuit and a romper within the collection!

This romper is darling! I love the details throughout and just look at the back! See what I mean?!

The final show of the evening was by designer Laura Kathleen. For all you Project Runway watchers, she was on Season Nine and Season Two of Project Runway All Stars. Her collection was chic, sophisticated, and offered something for everyone. And, I would wear every single piece!

 

Did I mention I ordered these pants? Oh, and did I tell you Laura Kathleen herself told me my butt looked good in them? She's a good sales girl!

I had the most wonderful time at my first KC Fashion Week! I loved spending the day among fashionable people, talented designers, and exploring a new eye for fashion. I've made some new friends, contacts for future events, and learned some new techniques in the world of my photography. (I'm hoping I've made my dad proud as well.) Thanks for coming along for the journey! I hope you've enjoyed a birds eye view!

Next up? Taking runway to real life. Can't wait!!

My Evening Attire

Regarding the attire for the evening shows at KCFW, I asked some of the fellow bloggers what they were wearing, and I was told that most would dress pretty formally. I instantly panicked! I hadn't planned to get super dressy for the event. I had planned to go a little more edgy. A little more risky. I immediately put on the brakes. 

I called my mom on the way home and uttered the standard phrase "I have nothing to wear!" My mom rebutted with, "I'm pretty sure you have a black dress of some sort you could throw on." And the answer was, I did have a black dress. A black dress I was planning on wearing, but now it just wouldn't do. She suggested this jumpsuit, but I thought about the dress I wore to Drink Pink last year. I tried it on, and to my surprise, it fit better than it did in July. However, the more I thought it,  the more the jumpsuit just seemed appropriate. More me.

I kept the styling pretty simple. A few pieces of bling here and there, shoes that were an almost match, and a dark wine lip. I added a little more drama to my eyes, something I rarely do, and I raced out the door!

 

I'm so glad I went with my mom's suggestion, and my gut, because it was the perfect mix of dressy and formal! Plus I received numerous compliments and what girl doesn't love those! I would say that my final night of fashion week was a total stylish success.
