Reflection: Fashion Week Columbus

How could I ever forget Fashion Week Columbus? I remember that time as being very scary. Being included with nine local designers that where all older than me. I was so nervous about what people would say about my line that I got no sleep the night before. I slept for one hour. Plus I was busy making finishing touches on a few garments.

Watching my things walk down the Catwalk was so magical--just the fact of hearing the audiance gasp that such beautiful designs came from a seventeen year old male.

After the show I was shocked hearing all of the feedback from the many veiwers. I practiced all of the conversations in my head while in the shower, but as soon as I got in my first interveiw I was speechless. But I remember that day as being one of the most amazing and hectic days of my life, a day that I will never forget.
