Fashion Week Flashback

This will be my sixth year as the Digital Director of Charleston Fashion Week and I am thrilled for 2015's incredible lineup of of talented designers, fresh model talent, and accomplished special guests... Hello, Fern Mallis, Louise Roe, and Trina Turk?

During my time working for CFW, I have been fortunate to have made life-long friends, met incredible designers, and have donned garments that I never would have dreamed of wearing.

Let's reminiscence, shall we?

2009 - My first CFW event. This was right before I was hired. My sister, Lindsay (left) and Angharad Chester Jones (center, now the Marketing Director) and I danced our faces off at this after-party.

2010 - This is my now husband at his first and ONLY CFW event. We were still in the "courting" phase which, as all women know, means he would do anything to impress me which included being my date to events that he was uncomfortable attending. Deer-in-headlights.

2011 - Emerging Designer Party rooftop soiree with Angharad.

2011 - With Angharad, wearing Troubadour 2011 - Marketing Director, Misty Lister (left) and Executive Director Naomi Russell (center) 2011 - With my former intern, Brittanae Casper, who now works in PR in NYC. 2011 - My first time wearing Cavortress with owner Julie Wheat. This will not be the last time that I rocked her vintage looks, Julie would later go on to design my wedding dress. 2011 - With Project Runway star and featured designer Mychael Knight.

2012 - I remember walking down the street and catching a glimpse of pink hair then I realized that was featured Designer Chris Benz. He was nice enough to take a photo with us on King Street.
