Chris Benz Unveils Nature-Inspired EPIC Movie Collaboration

Chris-Benz-EPIC-Movie-Collaboration

Yesterday, I attended the unveiling of Chris Benz’s EPIC film collaboration hosted by IFB. It was truly one of the most unique fashion presentations I’ve ever been to. In partnership with the film’s Art Director, Michael Knapp, who described the artistic challenges he faced in creating and conceptualizing costume design for the animated film, we learned how patterns found in nature inspired the costumes in the movie which in turn inspired the famed designer’s creative process. The result was a beautiful emerald green dress re-imagined from Chris Benz’s Spring 2013 Collection born out of EPIC’s rich forest landscape.

Lucky Shops New York VIP Party & Screening of ABC Family’s Jane By Design

Thanks to being one of Lucky Magazine‘s favorite bloggers, they invited me and a friend to the Lucky Shops New York VIP Party and an exclusive after party at the Crosby Street Hotel for a pre-screening of ABC Family‘s new show, Jane By Design, premiering in January. We also got to mingle with the stars of the show.  Since a picture is worth 1000 words, here is a photo essay of my epic night.

So many people, so many deals, so little time…

I had my eye on this cute little mini red Foley + Corinna bag.  I also found some of the most inspiring accessories at the Rebecca Minkoff booth.

Lucky Magazine always makes me feel like a star hence the director’s chair.

My friend Tracy and I met Erica Dasher, the star ABC Family’s new series Jane By Design at the after party at the Crosby Street Hotel. She’s such a doll! You should totally tune into the show on January 3rd at 9/8c. The pilot was a lot of fun to watch and featured some great fashion by costume designer, Olivia Miles.  The show tells the story of a quirky high school student with great fashion sense who gets a job at a high-end fashion house after a case of mistaken identity.  She then begins leading a double life as a high school “Plain Jane” and rising fashion executive a.k.a. the executive assistant to a crazy fashion maven.  It’s like The Devil Wears Prada meets high school.
