BFW 2012: Firas Yousif

Thanks to Amy, who's been covering some of Boston Fashion Week for Hogger & Co., we get up close and personal with Firas Yousif and his cocktail frocks to asian-inspired dresses to bridal gowns! Happy to see the gorgeous Jane Conway Caspe make an appearance on the runway, looking glamorous as ever, just like she did at the Zac Posen appearance at Neimans last year.

BFW2011: Daniela Corte

Boston Fashion Week ended with a bang on Friday September 30, when Daniela Corte's collection came down the runway.  It was one of the most exciting events, the TENT was completely sold out and filled to the brim.

Here are my favourites!

BFW2011: Daniela Corte

The big finale of Boston Fashion Week took place on Friday September 30, when Daniela Corte took place on centre stage.

What a close! It was one of the most exciting events, the TENT was completely sold out and filled to the brim.

Here's just a teaser of the show to come. Whose shoes?

We were trying to figure out what the lady on the left was wearing. Anyone know? The other two are the designers :) Smashing!

BFW2011: Carter Smith

On the final night of Boston Fashion Week, one of the most colourful shows took place in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  The Carter Smith show.

Carter Smith's Shibori process (Japanese dyeing technique by way of manipulating the fabric then dyeing it) results in a one of a kind, rich fabric, which is then sewn in a way that flatters every figure.

Here are some of my favourites.

BFW2011: Second Time Around

Boston Fashion Week has been filled with amazing collections; with one of the most unique being the Second Time Around show.

On Friday September 30, STAConsignment took place in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston.  STA is a premier consignment company featuring affordable, wearable yet high-end items in over 25 boutiques in the city.  The show, with it's funky style, bright pops of colour and trendy looks was a huge hit with the audience.  Here are my faves.

BFW2011: Jeff Lahens

It's been so much fun shooting in the press pit at Boston Fashion Week!

On Thursday September 29, Jeff Lahens' show took centre stage in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston. The collection was his own as well as a collaboration with Uniform, Bobby from Boston and Drinkwaters. What an incredibly good time! Everyone was pumped; the tunes were upbeat and the models had PROPS! PROPS! Jeff Lahens is such a nice guy; we hung out with him for a bit in the lounge after the Carter Smith show on Friday night.

BFW2011: Avni Fashion

It’s been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, Avni Trivedi's show took centre stage in her "Midsummer NIght's Dream" Spring/Summer 2012 collection.  Here, some of the highlights from the show!  Nice work Avni; and thanks for the tickets :)  It was great to meet Amir and his friend who was one of the models in the show.  Great job everyone!
I also ran into fellow Boston Bloggers "A Girl In Boston" and "Style N' Naina", so nice to have finally met you both in person.  And can I say how much I loved those Mallory Musante shoes, too?

BFW2011: Lily & Migs

It's been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, the Lily & Migs show took center stage in The Tent!

Wow.

I've heard chiffon is a difficult material to work with (thanks Project Runway!) so, watching these gorgeous, pleated, fitted, blousy, multiple tiered creations (in chiffon! silk! and georgette!) strutting down the runway was truly a delight. Such a beautiful collection and those models were rocking some amazing fish-tail braids!

Here, some of my favourite shots from before the show, during and after. It was great meeting Jenn of the Jenn & Lauren team behind Lily & Migs!

BOSTON FASHION WEEK: Designer Spotlight: LILY & MIGS

Boston Fashion Week is here!  It's my first #BFW2011 and I'm looking forward to shooting some of the shows starting next week!

For now, I'll feature the designers I'm looking forward to.

Lily & Migs

The brains behind the design are Jenn and Lauren, who met as interns at Betsey Johnson in '08.  Their label is contemporary, fun and versatile with looks that can be paired and worn with anything!  I love how their company name came about from the process of naming each of their kids, too.  How sweet!
