All our hard work for the past 4 years amounted to this one night, and it was amazing. I hope you all got to watch the 7:30 show online, I did, and the live feed was great!<\/p>\n<p>We each got 3 tickets to the show to bring our family and when we got there to be seated, a lot of people were left out in the cold- or shunned to the &#8220;3-D&#8221; experience in the auditorium (which I heard was not good, a lot of the detail was lost). Some people gave up extra tickets so people with bigger families could bring everyone, but that didn&#8217;t matter. Typical FIT nonsense ensued at the doors and a lot of ticket holders were turned away because they were not actually partaking in the show (having contributed a garment).Luckily, I got my family in plus one extra-\u00a0 I was NOT going to have a family member watch one of the most important days in my career, a building over with paper glasses on.<\/p>\n<p>The set up was amazing, it was a floor show, meaning that there was no actual raised catwalk, but a sprawling U shaped runway, which I thought was nice. The room was done in all red draperies, a red runway, typical fashion show seating and goodie bags (eyeliner, lipgloss, a notebook, a $50 gift certificate to a salon, and a magazine).<\/p>\n<p>The music was great, and the models looked hot hot hot. I can&#8217;t say much for the menswear, not thoroughly impressed. My intimate apparel girls did amazing though. Each lingerie piece stood on its own with an aura of classiness and sex appeal, a few jaws were dropping.<\/p>\n<p>I was very happy with my model and ensemble. At first, I admit, I was not happy my other ensemble wasn&#8217;t chosen, but after seeing the show, I have zero complaints. On the fitting day, I had to take the bra cups in a full inch on each side, so I didn&#8217;t know how it would turn out on her, but Gloria did a great job working it down the runway. The accessories were chosen by the director (I chose shoes), and I must say, I LOVED the necklace. The model really fit into my design aesthetic and I was very pleased.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in FIT this coming summer, be sure to check out my ensemble which will be displayed in the C-lobby!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_687\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-687\" class=\"size-full wp-image-687\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/mine.jpg\" alt=\"Gloria and my ensemble\" width=\"450\" height=\"745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/mine.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/mine-151x250.jpg 151w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/mine-241x400.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gloria and my ensemble<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-686\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/garment.jpg\" alt=\"cotton ensemble on runway\" width=\"450\" height=\"897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/garment.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/garment-125x250.jpg 125w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/futureoffashion\/files\/2010\/04\/garment-200x400.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, its over.
