Voltage: Fashion Amplified 2010 in review

Voltage: Fashion Amplified 2010 was a great success! Returning as lead stylist for the fourth year running, I led a team of six talented fashion stylists working with the show's ten runway designers. As lead stylist, I took part in selection of the show's runway and accessories designers, and worked with the designers and stylists (including Zach Pearl, Trevor Small, Mike Head, Alice Sydow, Angie Hanson and Danica Andler) to come up with cohesive and impactful statements for the runway.

The evening's program was a piece of work in and of itself: The Voltage lookbook, art directed by Chris Larson with photography by Stephanie Colgan, is viewable online HERE.
