Was Philadelphia Fashion Week A Success?

Was Philadelphia's second annual fashion week a success?  I will have to say yes and no.  Yes, in speaking of the innovative designers who displayed a variety of au courant designs and inspiring trends.  The set up, along with the food and beverage selection were nicely orchestrated as well.  The runway design was breathtaking, as were the models who sashayed down it most gracefully.  I also found the event to be a great networking environment as well.  Most of the attendees were very friendly and well-dressed.
As to what could be addressed for next time.. altering a few issues in the way the event was scheduled and produced.  The event was not publicized as it should have been.  While speaking with other fashionites around the country, and in other parts of the world, the majority of the correspondents were totally unaware that the city of brotherly love was even having a fashion week.  Another issue that came up several times, was the lack of restrooms, or no restrooms.  Instead the guests had to use the dark port a potties located outside.  Perhaps another choice of venue may be a good decision?

It is not easy putting an event like fashion week together.  Perhaps, the planning committee could have used a little bit more assistance.  There were plenty of volunteers signed up, and most were very helpful and accommodating.

Another justification why this fashion week could have been better, would be not to schedule it on the same nights that the Phillies are in the playoffs, and the Eagles are out of town for an away game.  I say this, because I had overheard a few of the show producers saying that they wished more of the local athletes had been in attendance.

These are all very fixable and achievable attributes that can be easily taken care of.  Philadelphia fashion week is a step in the right direction, and I strongly believe that this event can and will get better every year.  This is a great start for philadelphia in the fashion world, and hopefully will never end.

Marina Makaron Moscow Fashion Show Coverage

As the Marina Makaron Moscow fashion show began, the song lollipop began to play.  No, not Lil' Wayne's lollipop, but the original lollipop song, from 1958.  The song instantly brought smiles to the audience.  Some of the crowd began to sing along, as huge smiles arose on their faces.

The show went on to create that same feeling of being happy go luckiness and carefree youthfulness. "This music makes me feel like a child again,"  one attendee said.  That was my thought as well.  Marina's show carried on the same type of resemblance. The music and Makaron's designs worked simultaneously together as the models began to present themselves in Marina's colorful spring clothing line.

Marina utilized many light colored pastels to perfection.  The line did remind me of multi-colored lollipops, until the jellybean song was played.  I was then reminded of the many unique colors that jellybeans come in.

Many fashion shows exhibit clothing that would not dare to be worn in public.  However, Marina Makaron Moscow's spring line can definitely be worn in society.  The line can be described as cute, classy, fun, and colorful.  A couple of the models even strolled down the runway with stuffed animals, which made the show even more adorable.  If you are a woman, you are definitely in for a treat with Marina Makaron's latest spring clothing line.
