Designer Launchpad Runway Show: Video

So the show has come and gone and boy am I glad because this was exhausting, lol
I am a member of the FBI in Los Angeles (Fashion Business Inc.) they are an amazing organization to belong to. They along with the LA Focus Apparel and Accessories Show began the Designer Launchpad Fashion Show which allows "newbies" a chance to show their collections on the runway.

I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate and let me tell you it is a whirl wind, the show is pretty much put on by the FBI so we have little control over things like models (kinda sucks) Music, etc. but they do a good job considering. I had an amazing time and will write in detail (or maybe video myself talking about it) it's a lot to have to type...lol about everything leading to the moment.

I will say that the moment I guess I had always waited for was the "walk" down the runway and when it came that time I was so overwhelmed with emotion, it was so great! no matter how large or small your opportunity it's an amazing feeling to feel like you are on the right path.

Simply Mimi

Hi Guys

Man has this whole thing been a trip, so many little things and then while you are at the peak of craziness you have to start Fall 2011, lol

I wanted to share the website with you, the whole collection is not viewable to the public but you can get a small taste. I'm so excite and will be prepping for the runway next month.

You guys have always been so supportive and I appreciate you all! I have not been in my sewing room in months :( but I plan on taking this Saturday to myself and sewing something..lol

Also, you guys are my biggest audience too so if you own a store, have a friend who owns a store send them to me...lol
