She will be entering her photos in Toronto art festival  Manifesto, if you go you will see the photos she took of me. To see more of Alyssa work go to her blog : blog.akfaoro.com

Voyage "what's Your Journey?"

 

For some wild reason i decided to start my own line of bead bracelets called "VOYAGE". I was always looking for bead bracelets and i didn't know where to find them, i took a trip downtown and got a few from some stores and thought to my self why don't i just make my own and i did. Why voyage you say, well i thought of different names but they didn't fit and then i said why not journey, then i started looking for different  way to say it in other languages. I felt that these beads bracelets would be things that you would take on every journey of your life the good and the bad, they are " journey bead". I did a shoot for promo pictures to get a buzz out about the bracelets where i styled and modeled for the shoot, the photographer was a good friend of mine Vanilla. The make up was done by a make up artist named Valini that i found on model mayhem, and the female model is a friend of mine that i did a few fashion shows with that goes by the name Malaika Lue. All the clothes where from a vintage stores and the light grey brownish pant was from Justin Bignall fall collection. There so much more i got to do before i start selling Voyage but am aiming for late Sept. Thank you to every that helped start Voyage!!!!!!!

Here a link where i will be posting alot on Voyage while working on some final things.

Designers Closet Fall 2011 Fashion Show

I had a blast walking in Designers Closet this year what a great turn out. I got to meet new people and saw alot of old faces as well. It was all about "FASHION" no performers no nothing just amazing clothing. I walked for two designers Justin Bignall and Beaucoup. Justin Bignall is a good friend of mine and one of the creators of Designer Closet, he is a young really amazing designer someone you should look out for. It was such a pleasure walking in the show and being apart of the promo stuff :).

In the white shirt and red short is Justin Bignall and these are some of his design us models are wearing.

New Plan And Goals

There has been so much on my mind lately and so much that i want to do. The New York goal is there but am going to put it off, i want to do so much more here in Toronto before i take that big step. I am going to work on getting sign here in my city and work my ass off. A model is who i am and that won't change i won't give up on that dream like i said am going to make it my reality. Fashion is my life and i live for it, The ultimate dream and goal is to be a "fashion icon"  and that what am working on and won't stop. ARE YOU WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!
