An Invigorating Dose of Venom

I had received information about the upcoming Zuri Spring Soiree Fashion Show, and figured, hey, why not at least give it a shot. SO, I sent in my info and waited to hear back if I would be accepted into the audition phase happening on March 31. The next day, I had been contacted that I would be auditioning for the show! (YAY!) So I started working on an outfit and poses. The theme was formal, so I was going through different gowns that I had and jewelry that might go with it. What I came up with, I was really pleased with, I felt beautiful! After the audition, there was a day of waiting before we found out who got accepted into the show, and (YAY!) I was one of the 10 models! Below is a picture and style info of what I wore to my audition. I hope you like it as much as I do!

At the end of the 104 class, we were given 1 more assignment to practice a bit more in styling and posing. We were told to style and pose an outfit inspired by our favorite designer IRL. For this, I chose Ralph Lauren's Fall/Winter 2014 line. http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/ralph-lauren-fallwinter-2014-new-york-fashion-week/ I chose this line because I really loved the Fall casuals in it. Image below is what I came up with. *Smiles*

This assignment was extremely difficult for me, in fact, I think it is the hardest one I had to do. I was given a link with a picture of a girl wearing an outfit that was kind of androgynous, and told to become inspired by it and style an outfit. Here is where I misunderstood. I didn't realize I was meant to be inspired by the specific designer, which was COMME des GARCONS, and thought that I just needed an androgynous styling. Needless to say, I didn't do so well on this assignment, and I know that next time, if I'm unclear, I really should ask and make sure so I have no doubts. BUT the look I came up with 'did' end up kind of neat, and several people liked it. SO, below is a picture with a style card. *Smiles*
