Freedom and Fashion Experience, the Sketches

Part Two of my report on the Freedom and Fashion event held last Saturday at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena. 

You met the designers on Sunday.

Today, I give you some more sketches that I did at the show.

Did those guys know that I was sketching them? 

This one I randomly added people to make a crowd scene.

Part 3 will be more photos from the show.

52 Pick-me-up: Lilac / Recovery

••• 

I hear that the Lilacs are starting to bloom in NYC and environs. Sigh. I LOVE lilacs!

More on my mind is this week's 52 Pick-me-up emotional word -- Recovery.

I attended a very uplifting event last night, celebrating a group of young women who designed a fashion collection under the guidance of the team at Freedom & Fashion. Freedom & Fashion's mission statement is: "Using the arts of fashion and beauty, we create empowering programs that mentor and bring freedom to at-risk young women and survivors of the sex trade."

These stars shined brightly and gave me a sense of hope for the world.

I'll share more of my sketches from the night later in the week.

For now, congratulations to everyone at Freedom & Fashion. It was a soul-stirring event.
