My utmost gratitude to everyone involved in this year's Spring/Summer Shows: Chicago Expression Magazine's "Spring me into Fashion" held at the GrandBar that benefited the American Diabetes Association and Chicago Couture Fashion Week's "Unity in the Community" held at the Alhambra Palace that benefited the American Heritage Youth Foundation. A fun and rewarding experience indeed! I presented alongside exceptional designers, met talented artists - photographers, make-up artists & hairstylists, & of course beautiful models!
