Hello Fashionistas and Fashionistos!
I initially contacted the CEO/Founder of BK Style Foundation (a non-profit organization), and Producer/Director of Brooklyn Fashion Weekend, Rick Davy, to see if there was a need for a fashion stylist for this years shows. He quickly responded to my email, to my surprise, and said they were in need of more stylists, but weren't able to pay. I was ok with that...there are certain projects I will barter or participate in just to gain more experience, because you sometimes have to do that to get return in your investment! After our meeting, I went straight home and began planning for the next day...pulling out cards of which companies I would contact to request footwear and jewelry samples from. Mr. Davy saw my enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment, and decided to offer me the position of Fashion Director of the show, which I humbly accepted! It is an honor, and I really appreciate the opportunity to work on this event.
I look forward to the buzz and creative chaos on the evenings of the show!
Stay fly,
Mary Lafayette
