Did I mention to you I was in New York City last week? Did I mention it was Fashion Week in the city for the Spring 2013 collections? Did I mention I weaseled myself into a runway show? Tibi is a collection who's operations are based out of Saint Simons Island, GA. I met the designer's Mother who just happened to live in TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA. So, we immediately became fast friends! It was through this connection that I contacted the PR person for the company and asked for 10 invites (they aren't tickets--you're invited to these events). That was a stretch, but they gave me 2 standing room only spaces (which turned into fabulous seats). I emailed my new BFF PR person Friday afternoon and secured a 3rd seat. My friend offered to give the PR person her firstborn, but she never took us up on that offer.
I sat in my chair staring at everyone wondering what they were doing here. Everyone I know works for an Engine Company, hospital, or designs things for industry. Is fashion really this big? Do people buy their clothes somewhere else besides Kohl's (not that there's anything wrong with that)?
My fashionista friends-Pam and Michelle at the show.
Here I am with Pam rocking the vintage Tibi (thanks Anne for the loan). I should mention here the Hoosiers arrived 1 hour before the show. We were the first ones there. Everyone came late. We'll know next year for 'Oscar'.
