As I prepare to leave for Atlanta for The National Prom Market, I find it hard to believe the last time I posted was in March!!
I thought it might be a good idea to revive this so called blog of mine and do a feature of my life for the next week.
The past year I have been working on the 2011 Sydney's Closet Signature Collection. With many bumps along the way, I feel I have come up with a very solid 50 piece collection of amazing, beautiful, and well structured Plus Size Prom Dresses.
Along with designing the dresses, there has been significant success with Plus Size Actresses and models with the Sydney's Closet line.
Gaburey Sidibe was seen on 2 occasions wearing Sydney's Closet.
At the BET Movie Awards
At the Premiere of "The Big C"
Phyllis Smith once again came back to Sydney's Closet to look for several dresses, one for the Emmy's (The Office is nominated once again this year) and a couple for premieres of her two major movies coming out in 2011.
Visiting with Phyllis, my co-worker Patty and I
We have also been contacted by the producer of MTV Made to feature the Sydney's Closet Prom dress line in a couple episodes.
Cheyenne wanted to be made into a Hip Hop Dancer and the premiere of her dance was shown at her Prom, where she was wearing the one and only Sydney's Closet Enchanted Evening Dress! If you missed it, keep an eye out on the MTV website to view the full episode.
Tyler wanted to be made "thinner". Here at Sydney's Closet we focus on showcasing your best body and Tyler was the perfect candidate. Unfortunately, her episode is still filming and we can not post anything revealing her experience at the shop, but I will say it was a great time!!!
Now, I think we are up to date.
This week will be a lot of work, stress, and dedication to my job, but it will in turn be (fingers crossed) very successful! It will also be a determining factor on how successful the 2011 Collection will be. Stores, boutiques, buyers, and other designers will be there to be the first ever to see the line!
In preparation, I of course had to go shopping. Some things I already had, but in order to really make an impression with the line and personal presentation, I needed some new things.
Last night I finished packing. Here is a sneak peek:
Well that is all for now, still busy packing and finishing the final touches before my flight in the morning.
