NOTE: Overall the show went well. Only faux was when one Mendes' designs, a short brown dress that one of the models wore while walking down the runway ripped in the middle as she walked up the steps to get her picture taken. The audience made a shocked noise, but she managed to hold it together (her dress as well as her dignity) from the bottom of the dress and proceeded off the runway. . It was a quick save and the crowd cheered her on.

Others in the house were: Alive Mag/Corridor 40's Atillio D'Agistino, Louisflicks Tommie Choncie, Ms Patrice Renee, and model Christiaan Coffield.



Also, to the young men who had wore that AW-faux fur stole (one was a local designer) and carried a big full fleged COCHE purse on his forearm prancing around respectively uh...it was NOT that serious!
