What an incredible end to a whirlwind week of fashion! The finale designer showcase at Union Station was ah-mazing! While the previous runways showed off the hottest Spring trends, this show felt like a top-secret Fall trend preview. Even though I am in no rush to don outerwear, the offbeat, colorful, and 80s-inspired looks sparked excitement about my wardrobe come October.
Viktor Luna: Viktor's 2014 collection reminded me why he is one of my favorites from Project Runway. There were harnesses, fringe, feathers, and lots of leather. The hardcore yet feminine outfits gave off a distinctively bad-ass vibe: I am fashion warrior, hear me roar!

Harbison: I heart the 80s and anything vintage, so Charles Elliot Harbison's collection made me smile. I loved the modern ode to shoulder pants, white shoes and socks, and menswear-inspired power suits. The blazers even had clever armholes that allowed them to be worn as a cape. I'll stop the world and melt with these designs.

Novis: Jordana Warmflash, the designer behind Novis, used a neutral color palette to showcase a masterful mix of textures and elegant silhouettes. I'll take one of each. And maybe two of that leather dress, just for good measure.

SKIF International: Nina Ganci's brand is nationally acclaimed for its deconstructed, naturally fabricated knitwear. I was pleased to see non-traditional models saunter down (and actually smile!) on the runway in toasty warm sweaters. I was especially tickled by a bright yellow trench coat that had a pocket in the back for baby's breath. A literal, refreshing interpretation of April showers bringing May flowers.

On a silly note, my friends and I had a blast after the show making a photo flip-book from
Flipping Good Times. Cheesy video + fun props + personalized flipbook = genius. If you're wondering what yours truly wore (I know the suspense is killing you), I'll give you a hint: there was tulle. Lots of it. :)
