A night of Supima and Stars.
Jul 15th, 2008 by Jessica Park
As my job doesn’t allow much room for creative interpretation, I resorted to exerting my fashion forward sense into my own clothing. Creating outfits that scream indie rocker one day and boho chic the next. Then on a manic Monday as soon as I was ready to call it a day, I was informed that my clothes needed to reflect a more conservative image, only to be backed by the fact that our department sets the standard for the rest of the talent we dress (this made me chortle). As my mood was totally tainted, the only thing I could look forward to was attending “The Inaugural Supima Fashion Show” for fall/winter ’09-’10. The show was held at Gotham Hall and showcased new designers who created outfits out of Supima Cotton, a natural fabric, as we are all banking on the trends of going green. Not only did we walk in without standing in line, I had a lovely conversation about the cover of “The New Yorker” with Jonathan Harr who was sitting next to me and took a picture with the guys from Project Runway. Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show. ENJOY!!!
