Day 4 at FAT

So I made it to the last night of FAT with my friend (and bridesmaid) KT. I found the whole event to be so inspirational! The shows that stand out most in my mind right now are Jennifer Allison and Heidi Ackerman. Jennifer's work seemed was feminine and light. Lavish with intense texture and detail. A cut about the knee A-line dress comes to mind that was made very volumous with so much tulle a fabric. The styling of the whole show was gorgeous and very consistent. Antlers poked out of mass curls and textured hair. At Heidi's show there was a great exploration of shapes and ideas. The skirt that graces the promotional material for FAT is a Heidi Ackerman piece. I wish could find more photos of Heidi's work! I remember a black dress with very large and sharp shoulders and an egg-like kitted form that fit around of of the models that restricted her arm movement... There was some very futuristic and gorgeous work by Martha Sharpe. If you go to the FAT about page you will see one of my favorites. I posted it below as well. And the LOVAS line by Wesley Badanjak I think stood out from the other collections in a way... It was very chic, something you could easily wear to work or to functions and you would look ultra smart and edgy. I enjoyed the cool blue aquamarine fabric against the blacks and greys. I remember seeing a lot of fantastic shoes and gloves, (I think gloves by Wesley Badanjak and shoes by Martha Sharpe...) So unique and exciting... There was a lot of awesome stuff all night. My camera is no match for low-light model strutting goodness so I didn't bother to try. I just enjoyed the visual feast and occasionally shared thoughts with KT. I'm going to check back at the FAT site soon and see what photos get put online. For now a fantastic set of photos can be seen at the FAT photostream on flicker.
