Hello everyone!
This past weekend I had a great time helping out and being a part of a private fashion showcase event for d.RA, the company I am interning for. It was a sort of last-minute notice for me but it’s okay because I decided to come and help out and it was really a fantastic event. I got to meet so many interesting and cool people! We chatted late into the night - almost an hour after the event was “over” !
I arrived at 6:20 and helped setting up most of the things (rack, clothes, etc). I put the clothes on the hangers and hung them on to the rack. I also steamed all the clothes so they would be presentable later on for the guests to browse through~
The spring line itself was beautiful and I got to wear one of the dresses! (it was my favorite actually hehe). Anyways I just enjoyed myself a whole bunch and I was so glad I went because I really got a good opportunity to gain some insight and experience with the behind-the-scenes of these kind of events. I also of course got a good chance to network and meet new people which is also very important.
One of my favorite things about the evening was the venue - it’s a cafe called Lamill Coffee located in a sleepy-town-ish part of LA (imagine that, eh?) and emanated a very tight-knit-community and cozy feel. I loved the venue to bits I am coming back there to try their other desserts and tasty foods. Everything they catered us with was like heaven! Also the place itself was so beautiful and elegant!

Anyways, I happened to bring my Canon DSLR with me so I ended up being in charge of snapping some photos for the event too ! It was loads of fun. I do apologize for the photos being pretty pixel-y and not very great quality because the lighting was pretty dark and the pictures came out originally very orange/yellow; after I edited them, they became sort of pixel-y so that’s probably the effects you’re seeing. I really tried to fix them but it didn’t turn out how I really wanted them to but I hope that doesn’t bother anyone too much! Sorry in advanced >_<
