Borris Powell Recap
On Wednesday Borris Powell debuted his Spring 2011 collection at the Drake with a runway show titled “The Life of Two Fairies,” and it was magical!
The Drake created the perfect garden setting with a fountain and huge floral arrangement around which the models walked. It really felt like you were in a whimsical fairy land. The collection included a variety of short and long dresses and coats. While some pieces, including the coats, were very structured, majority of the collection was flowy and fanciful. The color pallet included green, yellow, pink, and a variety of floral prints.
The one thing we expect most from Powell is his attention to detail. No detail was spared in presenting this collection. From the setting to the pointy ears the models wore, this collection could not have been more complete or better presented. It was simply fantastic!

Event Invitation
-
Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
