This years Portfolio in Motion featured designs by Marymounts talented students in design and production. The theme for this years show as " All Doll'd Up". The stage was decked out to resemble the front of a doll house with pictures of windows, Chandeliers, and Damask print. The theme was carried out throughout the show from the over the top 2 inch eye lashes to robotic possess that embodied the mannerismsof dolls.
The fashion this year also didn't disappoint and featured great menswear that many noted was an improvement from last years. Evening gown from the talented Juniors wowed us with flowing purple lace gowns, elegently picked wedding dress', and navy blue corseted dress adorned with matching tulle hat.
But by far the best part of the three day weekend show was heartfelt mesage that the designer of the year, Isabel Toledo, conveyed to senior designers. She emphasized the need for us to "keep inspired, keep your enthusiasm. Stay true to the love that you have it for your Art.. become great sewers because that really expands the world for you... Don't just sketch and idea, think about it in the round, build it, work with fabrics..."
Hearing these words were a wonderful confirmation of my continued passion for this industry called fashion.
