Weekend Recap

This past weekend was a very bitter sweet one.

Thursday I went to the fabric store with Kas and our Design team to look for fabric swatches

for our new line. Got most, but now all so we are planning a trip to NY in about a week. I'm very excited about it lol.

Thursday night I went out with a couple of my girl friends and partied at Lotus,

and Park here in DC and Friday morning I found out that my Grandfather had passed.

Still sad, but I'm doing better. My grand dad used to call me Miko (meek-o) Lol, I smile everytime I think about it. He'd be like "heeeeeey Miko" in his deep voice haha..

It was hard for people who weren't around him often to understand what he was saying but I always understood him. I'm going to miss him.

Well anyway, peep some of the pictures..

Drawings all laid out

PA and Assistant Designer, that is ME.


Kris, Imani, and Treesia

Photo of the Day

I was trying to capture my Natural Hiar style for the day but my picture turned out like this lol..

I'm purple and cut in half.. creepy but I like it haha

Instead of doing two cornrows, I did two giant flat twists. I really liked the style, and it was quick and easy.

What say you all?

Fashion With a Purpose

A few weekends ago, I had the opportunity to assist with a great fashion show presented by the Cinderella Foundation and produced by the fabulous Maggy Francios.

The Cinderella Foundation is an amazing non-profit organization which helps to empower young African American, and African Women living in high risk, low income communities.

Their purpose is wonderful and I suggest you all take a look at their site.

I had the opportunity to assist Reco Chapelle (Bravo's The Fashion Show season 1) back stage, as well as meet Jerell Scott (Project Runway Season5). They are hilarious lol.

The event also featured Korto Momolu from Project Runway of course, Taisha Seen, Carol Hannah Whitfield, and Belafigura as seen on my blog here.

Now peep the pics.. I managed to get some pretty good ones, and snag some others

Somee behind the scenes

Reco and I, he was great to work with
