Emmett was in Town Last Night!

Actually, he's been here since Wednesday. He's doing work with Gretta Luxe in Copley Place. If you're in Boston today, he'll be there from 1-7 doing a trunk show. Go say hi!

Last night, he was a judge for an event to benefit the Faulkner-Sagoff Center, one of the premier breast care centers in the Boston area. They did a gala benefit, the highlight of which was a Project Runway-style show by students at the School of Fashion Design in Boston. Kevin Christiana, another Project Runway alum (season 4) was also a judge. It was a lot of fun, and it raised a lot of money for the center. But enough of me talking, let's see pictures!

Emmett, me and Kevin. Emmett is really tall and makes cropping photos an adventure.

But, it can be done!
I'm wearing one of Emmett's dresses, of course.

Courtney, Emmett's able bodied (and really sweet) assistant.

Me and my BFAM

Check out the centerpieces!



I got to take one like this home. Kewl!

The runway show was a lot of fun. 5 seniors from the School of Fashion Design presented mini collections which were critiqued by a panel of four judges. All five contestants were incredibly talented, but the gal who won did a really superb job and was, as the judges described her, visionary. Here she is with her finale piece.
Here are a couple of other pieces from the collections:


There were also pieces displayed around the reception area. This was one that Courtney and I particularly liked.
The evening was a resounding success. It raised lots of money for a good cause. Emmett, Courtney and Kevin were fabulous and fun. All in all, a very successful evening!

Looks like a GREAT time was had by all! You looked great . . . you are so photogenic! Loved the centerpieces; reminded me of a holiday cocktail party I had several years ago for some of my like-minded girlfriends, where I took my small Singer Featherweight sewing machine and draped it with tiny Christmas twinkling lights and adorned it with little hanging ornaments. I suppose it probably sounds odd, but it looked really cute!

It looks like a good time was had by all, may the time come when such events are held just for fun, not fund-raising. Nice designs by the students, and love the centerpieces. Maybe I could do something similar with some of my supplies instead of being in boxes in the closet.

The centerpieces are fabulous! What a great idea somebody had! I also like the dress you said you liked. It actually looks like something that could be worn!
Looks like you had a great time!
