Stacy bootstrapped her way to creating this collection by using Kickstarter. Wendy Brandes has been keeping track of the full story but suffice it to say, Stacy had a great level of interest and support. Not just from friends and family but from many bloggers as well. And a whole group of us showed up to see the show and applaud her success.
The show was wonderful, professional and inspirational. The models were great and the venue was perfect for getting a close look at the attention to detail Stacy put into each piece. These are some of my favorite shots from the collection which was inspired by 1960s Paco Rabanne and 1940s glamour. (Check out all the shots in my FW Set on Flickr)
Here's Ms Wendy doing her blogging thing... probably trying to get a better snap of her Cleopatra earrings that were featured in the show.
Afterwards we all mixed and mingled... and gushed over the work, of course!
I did get a chance to corner the lady of the hour to ask about her inspiration and her next collection, because with a response like this, you know there has to be one!

I can't wait to see what happens next. Congratulations, Stacy!
