BFW: BEHIND THE SCENES

Behind the scenes is where everything goes down. As the models appear chic and sassy on the runway, backstage is quite the opposite.  Full of organized chaos that can only come from the excitement of fashion designers are claiming their space and organizing looks and models are getting makeup and nails touched up as the countdown gets closer. Music pounds in the background and you can hear people shuffling to their seats. As the show starts it gets dark backstage and the panic rises even more as dressers whip clothes off and help redressed the models to work the next look. Designers are frantically adding last minute touches and fixing them up just in time to walk back out on the runway looking cool, calm, composed and fabulous.

 This was the scene on Friday August 19^th, 2011 when one designer in particular, ElleyGene, came with fresh hot looks for the edgy, fashion savvy, party girl to strut her stuff in and shutdown BFW.  Her sexy twist on classic items is what makes her clothes comfortable, edgy and a show stopper.

Below are some pictures to show just what it‘s like to be with the models, designers and stylist behind the scenes.
