Full Frontal Fashion

This weekend was full of fashionable fetes. Friday night Blake Mycoskie, designer and founder of the comfortable and charitable Toms shoes, was in town for a bash at The Apartment to kick-off his trunk show at The Fashionista’s Heidi Dillon’s home the following night. Saturday actress and designer, Jaime Pressly was in town to launch her Spring 2008 J’aime Collection. The fashion show was held in the lobby of One Arts Plaza and featured an array of short shifts and printed mini’s. International Model Helena Hudova was a crowd-pleaser as she put on quite the show, dancing and voguing for guests who included Jerry Stackhouse (who caused a commotion before the show when the glass table he was sitting at shattered on the floor), Prison Break’s Robert Wisdom, Friday Night Light’s Aimee Teegarden and Andrea Block, and Project Runway’s Malan Breton – who’s showing his Spring 2008 collection Wednesday night along with Dallas’ own Abi Ferrin. The weekend ended on Sunday with last, but not least, The 32nd annual Dallas Fashion Awards Gala, presented at the Dallas Market Center. Over 700 guests including Rising Star Award recipient Phillip Lim (who I sat down to interview – keep an eye out for it to appear online soon) and award recipient Nicole Miller attended (seeing as it was on a Sunday night, pretty impressive). Neiman Marcus received the Fashion Excellence Award. All in all it was a fabulously fashionable weekend in Dallas and with Fashion at the Park happening next week, there is no end in sight.
