Let's get RAW!

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of showcasing my line at one of the hottest art shows in the city- RAW Dallas!

RAW is an independent organization by artist, for artist. It provides indie artists an opportunity to showcase their talents ranging from visual art, film, fashion design, music, performance art, hair and makeup artistry, and photography. It is not your typical art show! Its loud, high energy and just a lot of different things going on all at one time! Its AWESOME!

Unfortunately, it was the farewell showcase for the Dallas market but I was super excited to be chosen to be part of the action!  I've been really enjoying designing and making handbags lately so for this show I  chose not to do runway and focus on just showcasing.

Thank you to everyone who hashtagged!

Check some highlight pics from the other great artists! The thing that makes this show so amazing is the diversity of art and artists!

The host kept the energy going all night! Loved their costuming!

                                                        Great Runway Presentations!

Makeup Artist Showcase

This particular artist showcase is most memorable to me because I remember how the audience responded to the art. It definitely held everyone's attention in a way where people were trying to draw their own meaning. What message was the artist trying to convey? It was very interesting and I wish I knew who the artist was to see what the inspiration was for his art.

I especially enjoyed ALL the performers! Dallas has SO much dope musical talent.

Special Effects body art and beautiful henna designs.

Shouts out to Three Masters Bonafide Bowties! So great to see that he is still at it!

Performance Art!

Your Royal Badness! I shot some video of myself way too hype over the brief Prince tribute but truthfully it was too embarrassing to post! LOL

I knew it was gonna happen! An onstage proposal....LOVE was definitely in the air!

Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was everything I knew it was gonna be and more! So grateful to have been part of a great show. Thank you to everyone who came to support the show!

Tinsley Radix Fashion Show

I love fashion shows! So whenever I can attend one I'm doing a little happy dance because I know its gonna be fun and I will leave with a little more inspiration. I just love the excitement of a great show and I also like to see how other great local designers make it all come together. Of course the cherry on top is the FASHION!

At the last minute, I was able to attend the Tinsley Radix Fashion Show. It was held at the super cool Seven for Parties in the Design District. The place was packed with fashionistas and fashionistos (Uh, is this the correct word for male fashion enthusiats? Idk) mingling, eating fancy hors d'oeuvres, and lightly head bobbing to the music playing by the cute DJ. The emcee was none other than Dallasite Courtney Kerr. You may know her from her blog What Courtney Wore or from reality TV shows such as "Most Eligible Dallas" and "Courtney Loves Dallas". She was funny, bubbly, and sported a cute curly bob!

As far as the collection, it was divine! Whimsical yet chic with a certain feminine ease. I really enjoyed the choice of fabrics, from the glittery to the breezy chiffon and crochet-like lace. Totally wearable and I think every woman could find themselves somewhere in this Spring/Summer Collection. 

I rolled in just in time as people were getting last minute cocktails and taking their seats so I was a few rows back and had to peek in between heads to get very few blurry snaps!
