AIA Fashion Show Part 3: The Runway

Finally, the runway!  Watching it happen from backstage actually brought tears to my eyes.  These models made my impressionist ballerina vision a reality.  I asked them to smile, twirl, and dance onstage, which they did and more.  These girls lit up the stage in my eco-vintage designs.

AIA Fashion Show Part 2: Portraits and Candids

Even though just 3 of the 10 models wore pointe shoes, everyone was an honorary ballerina for the show.  This group totally got into the spirit, and everyone was smiling, laughing, and dancing the entire time.  Photographer Anastasia Cheatham captured the joyful energy of these beautiful women in this series.  I dare you not to smile while looking!
