SAC Fashion Week – Fall / Winter Showcase 2014

«I Do My Little Turn On The Catwalk»
SITREP
Dam. I love using that line. Don’t get many opportunities these days either! But that was the case this past Saturday when I got to enjoy the beauty & pageantry of the SAC Fashion Week’s «Fall /​Winter Showcase 2014».
The showcase was hosted by the California Automobile Museum, which itself is a wonderful local treasure, nestled along «V Street» across the street from the City Animal Services outlet in the narrow «peninsula» of land between I-​5 and the Sacramento River. just a half mile South of Old Sacramento.
THE SETUP
The Showcase had many separate room compoments that fully utlized the Museum’s large warehouse space. It was awesome to see the incredible amount of work that went into the extensive beautiful interior-​décor, even more amazing knowing that it was just for the duration of the fashion showcase.
As it turns out, the museum was well suited for the fashion-​showcase since many of the rooms were perfect for specialized-​segmentation of areas for this special event, and included:
* A reception area with tables and seats at the interior entrance for the events;
* A museum showcase V.I.P. event that allowed the oogling of a selection of fantastics cars that the museum put out there for this purpose, including: (1) THE CLASSIC CARS (such as Model T and Mob Roadster), (2) ECO-​CARS (such as the EV-​1, continuing the museum’s mission of education), and BIZARRE & FUNNY CARS! (such as the 2000 Corbin Sparrow, a purple hooter bug like thing that is probably no bigger than a Harley Motorcycle — it’s not very long nor wide, but personality-​galore!).
FASHION SHOWCASE AREAS!
In addition to the ancillary spaces mentioned above, the main room set-​ups were spectacula.
* V.I.P. LOUNGE — the V.I.P. lounge had full food & drink set-​up serving tables, wonderful couches and seats and tables (just brought in for this event) for people to socialize & mix at.
* FASHION RUNWAY — But hands down the most amazing component of the showcase was the huge area where a standard fashion runway with a full gallery of seating and risers on all 3 sides of the runway was set-​up. It was pretty spectacular, with the main launch-​stage at one end, and then a riser for the photographers on the other end.
Since I have an eye for these things, I also enjoyed seeing how the event-​lighting was set-​up, the sound-​system set-​up, and the DJ board.
DESIGNERS & MODELS
Sacramento Fashion Weekly went all out on this special occasion, with a lot of fashion & designer V.I.P.s and visiting models. My friend Courtney graced the event with her exception breath-​taking Steam-​Punk ensemble:
There five (5) separate lines of designers that we got to enjoy this evening, and the models were all exquisite. I happened to enjoy the first, the fourth and the fifth design lines the most, though there were fantastic models associated with each line that I truly admired.
I enjoyed the fact that I got to get some pictures of these very special V.I.P.s as well, including my friend & mode, Nadejda Angel, who recently was crowned as «Miss Russian California 2014» — a HUGE KUDO to Nadeja on that special achievement.
