Tea Party Fashion Show

All dresses by Loniso

Here are a few shots from a fashion I was asked to do by designer Alanzo Tate (Loniso).  After walking for Alanzo in DREAMlife fashion show a few months back, he reached out to me, and I was more than honored. The designers included Vittoria Antionette, Adom Designs, and of course, Fashions by Loniso. MUA was Lanetta Toland.

Fall Campaign.

                       Toucan Boutique Fall 2010

Following up from my last post are the on-site photos that the Toucan models received along with walking on the runway. These photos are all done by Photographer Michael Saunders. Who by the way, did an AMAZING job. Trust me, we had very little time and not the ideal lighting to work with. But he certainly knows what he is doing behind the lens. And I will not deny it, photoshop does wonders!! haha This is a great addition to my portfolio!

The Following are some of my favs from the shoot:

ReadySet DC- Fashion District

DC is OFFICALLY on the fashion scene! The ReadySetDC Fashion Show is a semi-annual event held here in the nations captial (obviously) to showcase some of the city's top boutiques. This is the show's 2nd year running and our production was SOLD OUT in a matter of hours. Followed by great reviews across the board.  I was fortunate enough to walk on the runway for Toucan Boutique. [Located on 9th street in NW] The owner is a young Brizilian beauty by the name of Nas, she was laid back and easy going! Along with getting to walk the runway, the models were given a chance to get some print work in! She offered us an on-site photo shoot, everyone got a little something extra to put in their portfoilos. The following pictures are from the Runway and the after party itself.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but video is always better.

The past few months have been quite busy as I anticipated, but not for a bad reason. Work has been coming my way and I love love love it!! Mid-October I got in contact with a the designer of Chez Kevito (Titi) who was generous enough to let me walk in her show. Fine Arts Meet Couture Fashion was a good event and I made a lot of great connects! Here are some of my pictures from the RUNWAY!!!! I must say my DIVA face was in full effect. Enjoy.

Also feature in the Fine Arts meets Couture Fashion show was a young designer by the name of Marvin Inabinet. Marvin is fun and full of life. UNFORTUNATELY I cannot get a hold of any pictures from the runway, but I did find a picture of myself and a few other models in his Fall 2010 pieces

Easy. Breezy. Beautiful.

Hey guys, I had another shoot with my beloved Christina Miller, She is launching her Fall 2010 line of makeup. The looks at this shoot were to show how easy it was to go from day time makeup, to night time makeup. The looks were all GREAT and the Photographer Javier Pierrend was amazing. He gave me great direction and little pointers that can take me a long way! hopefully I'll be able to work with him in the future. Another great learning experience with a fabulous outcome!!

HOW TO WALK

So lately I've been getting emails/facebook messages/twitter DMs about modeling. Its kinda of crazy that young ladies are asking me for advice, because I really don't know what I'm doing my damn self! haha but flattering to say the least. Before I hand out advice that isn't the best, I can at least show you guys a few videos on how to do what I am currently learning. the following video clips are from ExpertVillage.com You can see all their videos on youtube on modeling tips. These just happen to be a few of my favs!
