While the weather here in Columbia, South Carolina may not be reflective of the fact that fall is here, well it is! On Friday, October 30th, I cohosted a fall fashion trends segment on WLTX News 19's the Friends at Five Show with Anchors Darci Strickland and Sharie Harvin where I highlighted 5 key trends you must try this season. These trends include Biker/Rocker Chic, Investment Basics, the 40s, the 80s, and Draping/Ruching. This season it's all about the confident woman who's ready to take on the world and have a little fun while doing so.
I featured clothing from 2 retailers in Five Points, a trendy shopping/dining hotspot in one of Columbia's downtown areas, and go-to discount retailer Target. I must say, all of these retailers have great pieces for this season; so many that at times I found myself saying, "this would be great for [insert name of friend]" and realized I have a live fashion segment I must coordinate!
The day of the show, everything went really smoothly. I invited Paul Mitchell The School to style all the hair and make-up and I contacted Rachel Nance, a freelance photographer in Columbia and the surrounding areas to document all behind-the-scenes happenings. There were also two models, Mandi Sordelet and Adrienne Kennedy from Fortress Fashion Shows that offered to model in the trends segment.
The greatest thing about the segment is everyone was such a pleasure to work with. All creative juices were flowing and while there were a few moments where ideas were clashing, everyone was afforded an opportunity to express their creative spirit in a way that was relatable and very well received by the audience watching. And at the end of the day, my goal is to have the work I put forth be well received by the confident working woman. If she is pleased, so am I!
