Fall Fro Fashion Week: REVIEW

 

As many of you know I am the key makeup artist for Fro Fashion Week so in addition to rendering makeup services I as also an active participant and attendee. Unlike the spring show which kicked off on a Friday, the Fall show spanned the whole week, with panels and a 'tweet up' and other events leading up to the weekend of Fro Fashion Week. I arrived on yesterday, Friday, checked into the Hotel Melia (the host hotel for the week) In the lobby I  met Kim Coles. Friday night was the kick off VIP Penthouse party at the Hotel Melia hosted by Kim Coles. Prior there was a VIP press reception with Kim, and several of the brands and sponsors. Then we went upstair for the party great music, great hair and alot of fun. There was a phenomenal turn out.  This morning the workshops started with a Zumba workshop at 7:30 I caught part of it then headed to other workshops and discussions on styling, making your own products, a presentation by Kim Coles & Jess re-launching Jessicurl with its new packaging. I figured I'd check in with you all for just a bit while I unwind. Back downstairs to start makeup for the fashion show models, and the VIPs!!!! Wish you were here!
