Phoenix Fashion Week Pt. 1.

Okay, so I am doing these backwards since the final day is what I edited first. Whoops! Oh well. Let's just say that Saturday's show was AMAZING. There were sooo many beautiful designs, both with the emerging designers and the established designers. I honestly can't even decide who my favorite designers were.

Rayan was definitely tied for first. I completely fell in love with the shape and silhouettes of the designs. They were some of the classiest dresses / jumpsuits I have ever seen. In fact my favorite piece out of the entire show was from Rayan. It was a beautifully draped, long wrapped dress with a huge bow that perfectly blended in with the drape. Although some of the other designers had more intricate details, prints. and colors; the beauty of Rayan was it's simplicity. It was also very wearable, and perfect to stand out on any occasion.

Of course Rocky Gathercole's designs were spectacular! They had such a wow effect from the moment they stepped on the runway. For somebody who went to fashion school and had to sew......I couldn't even imagine trying to sew these garments. Every little piece was perfectly placed, and the detail that went into his work was so unreal and creative. My second favorite dress of the night was the striped midi dress with the upper lace bodice ( which is the first one in the slideshow).

Yen had some of the prettiest prints EVER, which was accentuated by all of the sparkly black details. They also had classic shapes, which really made the colors and details the main focus. Some of my favorite colors to wear together are green, black and gold; so these dresses were right up my alley.  

Overall, each designer brought something different to the table. Rayan had the simplicity, Rocky Gathercole had the wow factor, and Yen had the most beautiful prints. Together, along with all of the other wonderful designers, it made for an awesome show!

My weekend was perfect! I got to experience my first ever real runway show, I finally met some fellow Arizona bloggers, and I got to see some of the most beautiful designs. Part 2 will be Thursday and Friday's looks, and Part 3 will be what I wore to the shows! So stay tuned and check back for posts!
