Let the countdown begin!

4 days until the 2nd Annual fashion Ball!

I’ll attempt to take you in the wild rid that is LabelHorde as we come into the final stretch, and final days of preparation before our biggest event of the year.

Tomorrow we will know the winners of the Platinum Stitch Awards, as votes are being tallied today. I’m so excited to see the results! This will be a historical winner group, as they are the first in Arizona to be recognized on this level. Winners will be announced right after the runway show at the Fashion Ball, so stick around.

As many of you know, DJ RADAR will be playing at the Ball, and though I have not seen him play live yet, I’ve heard some of his recordings, and have been briefed as to the details of his performance on Friday and I cannot wait, it’s sure to be quite an experience. DJ RADAR will be spinning, accompanied by a string section. It’s crossing boundaries and is something; I personally, do not want to miss.

Another one of the exciting details that has been added to the show is short films, by Cal Arts alumni, that will play 1/2 hour before and after the runway show. The work is brilliant and I am thrilled to have some of my alma mater join me in this celebration.

I checked the site stats last night and found that 2 new countries are visiting our site, bringing the count to 25. On this same note, our Marketing and Corporate Sponsorship President, Joanna Manganaro, got a call from a photographer in New York, who is doing a shoot this weekend in Phoenix and is looking for a stylist. He found Joanna’s listing in the online Directory and offered her the job! Unfortunately, she cannot make it due to it clashing with a little event we like to call the Fashion Ball. But, this just proved to us that not only are all these people from around the globe visiting our site, they are actually using it!

Our deadline is fast approaching for the printed Annual Directory. If you haven’t already been listed in our Directory, the time is now.
