Wow!

I think there's just so much to cover in regards to this event, that I'll have to do it in various posts. For now, I'll do the easiest and just link some various coverage the event's been receiving so far!

On our first day in NYC, I found out that the exhibit was featured in the current Time Out New York magazine ~ C & Poptart were kind enough to pick up a copy for me and lo and behold, look what they used! Now *that* was an amazing, unexpected welcome to the city ~ for Fashion Week no less :)

My friend Dianna from Starkers got a mention too and I was so happy to see that!



Here's part of the FIT brochure, and some of the original images within. Wednesday's face was morphed onto a stock museum photo for the Time Out feature ~ can't say I blame them at all, she *is* infinitely prettier than the mannequin!



I highly doubt I'll ever find all the articles linked to this as the press presence there was *huge*, but here are some that others have been kind enough to forward to me since the opening:

Here are more by the same photographer, including one of the lovely Miss Valerie Steele:

*EDIT* - I just got an email from Sweden saying,

"I just thought you might like to know that Dr. Valerie Steele mentioned you today in a lecture at University of Stockholm.

The subject was Gothic: Dark Glamour, and she showed a picture of your Isabella coatdress."

Surreal! I can't wait to share my own photos from the event and tell you more about the adventures of Fashion Week in New York!

I just hope I can get caught up with the other things on my to-do list as quickly as possible ~ dealing with being under the weather right now makes it a bit more of a challenge, but hopefully a quick recovery is on order.

But yes, "chain of events" is definitely an apt phrase! There was so much ~momentum~ in the air you could practically feel it... I'm hoping this will bring about lots of positive things for *many* of us :)
