Watch The Desha Show: Wild Night on the Catwalk Fashion Show!!

Episode 5 of The Desha Show is here! I'm SO excited to share this extra special episode which combines my love of fashion and creativity with a great mission-

On November 19, over 500 people cheered as beautiful models showed off one of a kind creations at Wild Night on the Catwalk, an amazing fashion show benefit for the Brattleboro Area Hospice. As the Red Carpet Hostess, I had the honor of interviewing guests as they arrived on the Red Carpet and documenting this event on film as part of my BCTV series.

In this video, you will see all the designs and meet some of the top designers, including Rene Gerrior, Truly Alvarenga, Pamela Moore and fashion show event producer, Conrad Lamour. It was a night of glamour and fun, and I hope this video gives you a glimpse of the energy that saturated this memorable evening.

Lily&Chloe was “born” when Lisa Charkey (founder) purchased a pair of red leather babouches in the Souk on a vacation in Morocco.

Lily&Chloe has evolved into what it is today, a source for urban ethnic style with a contemporary Moorish flair: men, women, and children of all ages can express their personal style with sunlit, supremely comfortable, hand stitched shoes, in brilliant North African hues, and uniquely textured leather bags shimmering with coins from around the world.

3rd Street Fashion Show in Turners Falls

Master of Cermonies

Okay, so you guys know I've been focusing on fashion here since late Oct, inspired by the Wild Night on the Catwalk Fashion Show that recently took place in Brattleboro (well, Putney actually).

 For new readers, I've been on a quest, much like in the movie Julia and Julia, to spend a year experimenting with a dream and exploring possibilities within my wide array of interests, one of which is STYLE/FASHION.

Hence, when I heard there was to be ANOTHER fashion show in my area, I had to go.

What I quickly discovered was that Suzee's Third St. Laundry Fashion Show, would be like no other. Held in an actual Laundromat in Turner's Falls, MA, the concept is that designers would take clothes that patron's of the Laundromat left behind and turn them into fabulous creations- well, at least very creative creations :)

The best part is that the show is held IN the Laundromat and models walk across a make shift runway parallel to the actual washing machines, making for quiet the silly scene. Models took advantage by not only strutting their stuff, but really getting down in some instances- using surrounding poles as props and so on. You get my drift here, right?

It was a small space, so I actually watched the show projected on a large screen next door at the Rendezvous, or Voo. Dance Party followed and I'm sure lots of other craziness.... these pics are from the model parade after the event. All in all, I thought it was a great concept and it just goes to show- fashion can happen anywhere, anytime.
