Open Season: Reif and Brady Lange

I was asked to cover the full week of events at the Mercury's "Open Season" last week, but I am right smack in the middle of an acting class, so I had to decline. Attending just ONE night of the super trendy, spot- hopping series was a treat however and I have some photos of favorite pieces I saw that night.

These are a few faves from Brady Lange's New Line. As you all know, I am a HUGE fan of this up and coming Portland designer, having shot for his previous line and shared a tea or tea with the man himself.
 



And it was my first time seeing a Reif show and I was impressed with the cut and colors of these pieces. I already own one of her popular turbans, but this has me itching for another addition to my closet.




It was a very interesting location for an intimate show and I think the even photogs were able to grab better shots from their outdoor seats, where the runway ended. Check out what me,  my date Sammantha and my hot, intern Anne wore to the show...

Deja Vu Fashion Show

Shot my first official "event" for my much beloved, Solestruck. The gals contacted me a couple weeks before the event and since I was planning on seeing the show AND planning to bring my camera, it seemed like fate! I have to say... having permission to act like an invasive, weirdo at a show- (I mean, HELLO- who doesn't want a free pass to stalk the fashionables and take their picture?) is A for awesome. Of course, my client being a SHOE store, I found myself crawling around the floor half the night grabbing shots of people's shoes. But who can complain? The shoes were to die for. Here are just a few grab-shots I took. You can see actual photos of the show here.
