My daughters invited me to come early to do a little hand sewing on a dress that was going to be hanging in their display room, and when I walked into the venue, it was like walking into a beautiful soft white dream. All the walls were painted snowy white, with vintage white furniture, and dreamy, beautiful, mostly white dresses hanging on white racks. You could see cool architectural views of New York City through the windows which added a soft glowing light, perfect for those of us taking photographs. Was this real or a dream !!?
A separate floor where the runway was located, had white floors, white walls, rows of white chairs, and a large paned window with a multitude of creamy white candles of various heights in front of it. This array of lit candles proved to highlight the anticipation and drama of the models entering the runway ! My girl's father and I were surprised and blessed to be given front row seats.
The models walked out to an assortment of hip music choices and it was interesting to see the varied styles and fabrics from beaded, to chiffon, to lace, and more. After each group of models walked the runway, most of the designers came out and waved to the crowd, to the applause of the audience. My daughters decided to follow their models and walk the whole runway, celebrating the culmination of their hard work and accomplishment ! Those of us family and friends who were there clapped and cheered...rather loudly I'd say !
I think back in time of being a fifteen year old, when my fellow classmates and I had to write papers on the careers that we envisioned for ourselves in the future. I wrote about my dream to be involved in the fashion industry....so I became an artist and a teacher instead, ha ha ! I didn't have a clue as to how to break into the business, but I guess that G-d didn't forget my dream though, as now I get to live it through my daughters ! Well, I'll be....life is full of so many unexpected surprises and blessings ! Thank you Brittany and Ashley for giving me such joy as I watch you living out your dreams and helping to give brides such happiness, wearing your beautiful dresses on their wedding days !
