Fashion Shows and Shoots, New Retailers and Pups - Oh MY!!

Whew - Finally, a few minutes to breathe and recouperate!!  grrlDog had a crazy good time last month with our good friend, designer Adriana Pavon, at Fashion in Detroit.  Adriana was the winner of the Local Designer competition at FID and was granted full access to the show - and quite graciously brought grrlDog along!!

FID VIP Preview Party

That cop was loving his job!!

We attended the VIP party on Thursday night, meeting Joe Farris and Kevin Chirstiana (both of "Project Runway" fame), and lots of other Detroit area fashionistas!  Friday we dodged the downpour to hit the tent for the final shows.  Then it was off to the studio to grab jewelry for the evening wardrobe change and off to the party!  What a fun time!!

The beginning of November brought a big order from our newest retailer - the Detroit Institute of Art!  Be sure to stop in for the Avedon show, then stop in at the Gift Gallery for grrlDog jewelry.  Remember, the holidays are coming!

And last weekend, grrlDog hosted the first of a series of photo shoots in the studio.  I've assembled a strong group of fashion designers, professional models, hair and makeup artists, jewelry and accessory designers and photographers to all donate their time and services for photo shoots.  I've seen the early proofs of the photos and they're AMAZING!!  Our photographer, Kevan Bowers really knows his stuff!!  He made grrlDog jewelry and Femilia Couture's clothing look fantastic and oh so glamourous!!  And everyone couldn't stop ooh'ing and ahh'ing over Lucy, a temporary grrlDog studio dog.

Lucy, a short-term grrlDog studio dog

What?  Yep, stray dogs always seem to find their way to us, and this amazing pitbull was no exception.  Lucy, the silly redhead, now has a safe new home where she sleeps cuddled in bed with her new family!!  We'll miss you Lucy, but are SO happy that you have a loving new home.
