Behind the Scenes: Lafayette 148 Fashion Show

     Yesterday I had the opportunity to be a dresser for the Lafayette 148 Fashion Show. It showcased designer Edward Wilkinson's Spring 2012 collection. The show was held at the Saks Fifth Avenue department store located at the Town Center at Boca Raton.

     The collection features bright pops of color paired with tried and true neutrals, such as oranges and yellows, shades of blue, grays, blacks, and whites. Wilkerson also mixes structured and billowy pieces, as well as delicate patterns and crisp solids. 

     You may be used to seeing models walk down the runway in beautiful creations, but have you ever seen what a show looks like before the show actually happens? Here's a look at all the craziness that goes on to pull off a fashion show without a hitch!

The stage is set. Or runway, in this case.

Outfits are lined up and ready to go!

No outfit is complete without the perfect accessory, even at a fashion show.

And so the wild ride begins!
One model comes in, three go out, run run run!
