Una Parola Cattiva: October 2010

The start of NYFW was dearly overwhelming, as it only made me ponder how miserable my little town of Stockton is. All we are famous for is ASPARAGUS, & UNLESS ASPARAGUS begins to magically appear on bubble skirts and frumpy tanks on the runway, we will never be considered for Anything remotely near to fashion during this Decade. No, Century.

So it was to my great surprise when we received word that Jay Nicolas Sario, 4th Runner up from Last Season (7) of Project Runway, was to come down here to present his work. Upon my arrival to the quaint little Methodist church where it was being held, I come to realize that it is a full house. I of course, dragged along an unwilling person, and we are forced to sit in a place where we have to poke our heads up to see.

The Lovely Mr. Sario had a slideshow on with all of his PR work while expressing everything he could about Heidi and his experience on time-strapped designing. At the end of everything, he began a Q & A, and while the easily embarrassed boyfriend urged me not to raise my hand, I ended up doing just that. Surely he must remember that I am a Libra. I felt a bit akward at first, because everyone else's question pertained to the show while mine questioned the comparison of his work to other designers-ultimately leading into a very detailed answer. With words of gratitude, he thanked everyone for coming and ended the night. I decided to go look at his half-clothed mannequins and his rack of designs, only to find that all of his sketches were laid out as well. I ended up having a little one on one conversation afterwards where his encouraging words of Fashion School and New York made me want to smother him with kisses.

Unfortunately, School and Lack of Long Distance Transportation were my barriers in preventing me to attend his Spring 2011 Collection in Portland Fashion Week.
