Karen Jessen, The EcoChic Design Award Winner, 2013

Ann3
Wednesday night was pretty remarkable! One of my little benchmarks while writing this blog has been that maybe one day I would get to go to something during a fashion week. Well, it has happened and now I am hooked! A fashion show is just amazing! Just dreamy!!

The Eco Chic Design Award Show (as detailed here) was my perfect first fashion week event. The show highlighted six pieces from eight finalists. The finalists were from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, France, and Germany. All the designs were so amazing–and more importantly conscientious. Sustainable fashion is just so much more special to our earth and environment; being a cautious consumer is something I need to work at–to say the least!

Winner
Karen Jessen won! She was my first pick all along too. Not only did she when first prize, but she also won the special prize as well. Her styles were made out of shreds of denim and t-shirt material. They were amazingly intricate and just spectacular works of art as detailed below. The dress and better yet collar on the second model to the right of Karen was INSANE!

Somehow the man’s hand in this photo works out just right. He’s pointing to Christina Dean, the master mind behind it all. She founded Redress in Hong Kong and with her team organized this show. I don’t know how she does all that she does. I find her amazing and so kind. Her team welcomed me at the door congratulating me on winning the ticket. I was one of hundreds attending this show, yet he entire team made me feel so special to be there.

For the event I remixed my lbd one more time. For this occasion I pulled out my leopard faux fur plus my DIY booties. I pulled my hair up into a high pony, and my niece Elle let me borrow her handbag. I kept my jewellery very simple yet I added a bold red lip. Really, I could have worn a bag over my head–my clothing didn’t matter. It was the perk in my step from excitement that I was wearing!

LBD–Funnily enough this dress is actually from Walmart. When we were passing through the store in Hawaii during Christmas of 2009 for my brother’s wedding, I saw this hanging there for $5. I scooped it up knowing that I would get a lot of use out of this little black shift.
