These gorgeous dresses were worn at the Fuse International Fashion Show by Portland Fashion Synergy leaders Kerry Shanks and Jillian Rabe to represent the love between Portland and the Henan province of China. Roses for Portland and peonies for Henan!

Lovely Portland model Moryama Makay. See her in the MAYTEE Spring 2010 preview video on MAYTEE's facebook page, shot in the Rose Gardens.
Friday night's FUSE Fashion Show at the Portland Art Museum was a brilliant success! Our makeup team, led by TIGI artist Caprice Hammon, started at Smashcut Studios and finished backstage at the museum, and nailed every look. Caprice faced some unique challenges with wardrobe and event layout while preparing the looks for the show, but what she came up with was perfect: powerful, but not overwhelming, and versital enough to compliment both the Portland and Chinese desings.
Sarah Vale Rapp's awesome senior Art Institute project. Amazing job to Shaun Mendiola with the photos, and to the models and of course Sarah. Such a fun shoot!
I went into SmashCut Studios to do a test for the Portland/China fashion show later this month, and it felt home. The in-studio makeup artist Caprice (who uses TIGI) gave me the look-in-progress to practice on a model, and we played around with ideas for mid-show lip changes and strong outer-corner lashes. The show will be at the Portland Art Museum and is sponsored by Portland Fashion Synergy.
