Last night we had the casting call for the Tiana Vega summer collection lookbook shoot!  We had some great models come in last night and audition and I think we are ready for the shoot on Sunday.  It was my first time working a casting call, and it was a pretty cool experience.  I can’t wait for Sunday! I’m so excited to work and help out at the photo shoot!

On behalf of Couture Connection, Tiana Vega Collection and Sweet Dreams Foundation, I want to thank everyone who came out to Ruth Chris last night to purchase tickets to the Designing Dreams Fashion Show. We enjoyed nice weather, good food, great drinks and amazing company out on the patio. It was so cool to see everyone who showed up in support of the event. I hope all of you will come back to join us at Harlows next Wednesday 7/7 for the Design Battle! Five weeks and counting til the fashion show

With permission from our client, Linzel Couture, I am able to leak the title and a little more information about the collection  :)

The collection is titled “Hot Miami Nights”…and that will obviously give you an insight into what the collection is like.  Think vibrant.  Think color.  Think Exciting.

As I said in my last post…this collection is very relevant and very current.  You are going to LOVE IT!

Today Couture Connection had Linzel Couture in the office.  Kimberly, myself and our staff on hand were lucky enough to get a wonderful sneak peak into their summer collection, that will be shown at the Designing Dreams Fashion Show on August 7th at the Memorial Auditorium.

No.  I’m Not going to be showing you pictures of the designs.  Nor am I going to give you details of the designs.

What I can tell you is this.  I believe this is looking to be Linzel Couture’s best collection to date.  The collection is exciting and fresh…and we are excited to see it shown at the Designing Dreams show.  We have scheduled a full day photo shoot on July 25th, where we will do both the editorial and all the catalog shots for their Summer Collection lookbook.    Shooting these are fun… because it takes a full day and a full crew of about 15-20 Couture Connection staff members to accomplish what we want, how we want.

I have made some great contacts, and once I get the final dates for SFW, then I can get some AWESOME sponsors for us!  YEEEE

Hope everyone has an AMAZING WEEK!  Fred & I are looking forward to Tiana’s photo shoot for SFW on the 11th of JULY 

Tonight…like EVERY Monday night…was our several hour long meeting to plan Sacramento Fashion Week.    Yes, yes…this event isn’t until the second week of November….but it REALLY DOES take this long to plan and put on an event.

This year… Magnum Opus has hired Couture Connection to co produce Sac Fashion Week.   We are, of course, VERY honored to be asked to do this..and very excited for our chance to help take Sac Fashion Week (SFW) to the next level.

But Sean, you ask…. Isn’t Couture Connection already working on Co Producing the Largest fashion show in Sacramento history right now???  Yes!  Now we are working on producing two very large shows.  While SFW isn’t quite as large as the the Designing Dreams Fashion Show….it is VERY large in it’s scope.  We have to plan 4 shows, a full day of workshops and ending with a final day of Trunk Shows.

But we have an amazing team, and as always…they will rise to the challenge!

Much thanks & appreciation needs to go out to Kim & Sean for putting together such an amazing team of people together which is now Couture Connection. Each member comes with their own strengths & specialties that are unique. I have met so many wonderful people through Couture Connection that I can relate to 100% including my amazing boyfriend Rickey (he was just an added bonus to already a wonderful thing with Couture Connection) I often joke that we are a group of ADD adults which is so true but one thing is for sure we are ALWAYS having a good time whether it’s in the office, at a photo, shoot or attending an event. I love that we can all go out as a PR group to local fashion shows and launches and have fun together. I have always had a passion for fashion and now I get to do what I have always loved.

Whooh!!! Up and running!!

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be part of the Couture Connection team and to work with such amazing and hard working people!  I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

We just got into the new place, and are in the process of setting up and decorating, which I always find to be so fun and exciting, adding a whole new energy to everything going on.  Last week, I worked logging invoices into the computer and making contact lists.  Originally I was supposed to work Thursday but was able to switch to work Friday instead, so I could go to Santa Cruz on Thursday with a group of friends.  Santa Cruz was amazing!  We played on the beach all day.   It was the perfect summer day!  Good friends, good food, and good fun!  So, I would like to give a big thank you to Sean and Kim, who let me take the day off Thursday to go to Santa Cruz and work Friday instead.  I really appreciate it!

It has been amazing working at Couture Connection so far and I am very very excited to be on board for the exciting ride that lies ahead!

I cannot begin to express my tremendous admiration and respect for Kim and Sean for being so dedicated and professional.  I am so proud and honored to be a part of Couture Connection and all it’s moving parts.  This is such an exciting time and I can’t wait to keep going, going and going with them!
