Thanks to my dear blogger friend, Lorna from The Fabulous Report, I found myself at the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation event. Here's the skinny: Italian wine brand Ecco Domani annually awards designers with a New York Fashion Week showcase and a $25,000 grant.
This year's winners are Bibhu Mohapatra, The Lake & Stars, M. Patmos, Mandy Coon, Native Son, Pamela Love, and Study NY. Before checking out the winners' looks along with the rest of the pre-Fashion Week crowd, an Essence.com photographer asked if he could take a picture. Here it is!
As he took close-ups of my accessories, I looked to the left and saw...*wait for it* super stylist, June Ambrose. I know, right?!?! After threatening to die and cry simultaneously, the photographer was kind enough to introduce me to her. She's even more incredible than I imagined. Seriously.
