A Night of Sophisticated Bar Hopping!

Food Meets Fashion is that part of Midwest Fashion Week where a group of us venture to different restaurants and eat a bunch of fashion inspired food and sip on fashion inspired cocktails…rubbing it into the models faces who’ve been starving themselves for the finale runway show the following day. Haha…just kidding! But seriously…

This season we all packed into the Hummer Limo from A Class Act Limo Service …fully stocked with Indiana Vodka of course!  Our first stop was Fujiyama Steakhouse of Japan where the food was prepared right in front of us!  (ps…I wore chop sticks in my hair…I felt it was appropriate for “Food Meets Fashion” HA! …read about my look in my “Look of the Night” blog)

Next we went to Chef Joseph’s at the Connoisseur Room on East Ohio Street in Indy.  Chef Joseph has traveled all around the world learning the art of cuisine.  The food was impeccable and the atmosphere was equally remarkable.  I always love discovering new places!  I don’t think they’ve been open for long. Go check it out!

Libertine was the next stop for some fashion inspired cocktails.  We each ordered our own cocktail from what I thought was an interesting menu…definitely not what I usually see when I’m ordering a drink.  I talked the founder of Midwest Fashion Week, Berny Martin, into ordering Absinthe lol…he’d never had it before ;)

I’m not sure we had room but our last stop for the night was the Winner’s Circle for dessert!  Yum!  As always it was a fun night!  Can’t wait for October’s Midwest Fashion Week!  I wonder where we’ll go and what’ll be on the menu!

Midwest Fashion Week – We Closed it Down!

 

This past Saturday was the finale runway show for Midwest Fashion Week.  DSI (Down Syndrome Indiana) hosted the Design for Change Gala event.  Marlene Haute Couture decided to pull out of the show due to irreconcilable differences so of course I was extremely disappointed she wouldn’t be showing… on top of the fact I would no longer get to model her show stopper dress on the runway!  I contemplated not even walking this year… but you know me…I ended up modeling for Catou and Michael Alan Stein.

My mom and aunt ended up coming out to support.  I made them get up and strut their stuff down the catwalk after the show was over and people were cleaning up.  …Pretty sure we closed the place down!   Lol


You can check out the show and the designers’ collections on Nightlights TV’s website.  All the clips are up for viewing!

P.S.  …I did still get to model Marlene’s show stopper dress…just not on the runway during Midwest Fashion Week.  We did a photo shoot that morning in the garden at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  The weather was perfect!  I will be writing about it in another blog entry as soon as I get the photos.  …So make sure you’re subscribed to my blog!
