Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Envision

Success! The tenth installment of Envision: Artopia, hosted by Ignite Models Inc, went off without a hitch. We had a crowd of over 700 attendees gazing upon a beautifully orchestrated show which paired both up and coming and veteran designers new collections with local boutiques spring merchandise. It was a mingling of color, texture and styling that stunned the senses. (The whiskey helped.) We are so honored to have kicked off this two part show – presenting 7 looks developed collaboratively by the CC team. Every bit of this mini eco-collection was upcycled (with the exception of the thread) from hand-picked thrifted finds and Ever After Gowns donations. If you were at the show, thanks for supporting! We hope bring more sexy and sustainable pieces to a runway near you soon!

Here are some tragic before shots used for the collection. Needless to say, we ripped into them with glee.
