So yeah... As you know this week is Montreal Fashion week, and like I said in a previous blogg I was invited to the second day for a nice cocktail and 5 fashion shows and it was all exclusive.
It was yesterday and let me tell you it felt like a movie.
How so you may ask?!!
Well lets just say I get there, I'm surrounded by celebrities and very high end fashion designers and people who work in the fashion industry, free champagne and red wine, surrounded by photographers snapping pictures of everything,,, attending high end fashion shows FRONT ROW oh and, yeah bumping into Will Smith while heading towards the ladies room.
YES WILL SMITH. I still can't believe it!
Now rewind to the beginning of my day:
I woke up totally dead from the day before getting ready for this unprepared photo shoot that was only in a couple of hours. Let's just say trying to create a concept for a shoot that was in about two hours is really HARD to do! But hey, I'm the kind of girl that likes difficult tasks and being challenged so this was actually pretty typical for me.
Seeing my internet bill on the table knowing I was late to pay tho... Yeah that made me jump, drive to the bank, pay and loose an extra hour of thinking for a concept.
BUT NO FEAR NO FEAR PEOPLE! I came through! I wanted to create a vintage concept! So I did, I had this beautiful dress(actually my dads girlfriends dress) that she lent to me for a new years Casablanca party I didn't attend(Come on I found a way better party) that fit the shoot and I had my GORGEOUS model wear it and go on my nice couch and did a photo session there!
Thank you to Sabrina Baldassare, who was my makeup artist who did a magnificent job on her eyes that made it more vintage!
So we took a few frames and I decided to let the light in from my window and it made cool halos in the picture which I LOVED. LITERALLY SO DREAMY WOOT!
After the shoot was done I was now on a straight schedule to get ready for my insane night in Montreal!
Arriving at Arsenal in Montreal for the Cocktail and fashion shows:
UH HELLO WORLD! This is where I belong, seeing all these people dressed up in these odd but very fashionable outfits!! It was like a Alex world! I was in heaven, true heaven. Champagne in hand I strolled around staring at the photographers, meeting very famous and respected people in the fashion world, attending fashion shows. WOW.
I came to realize how much I want to become a fashion photographer.. I mean I knew this is what I wanted to do but, being in the middle of an amazing Fashion night, just made me realize how much I belong there and how much I want it.
It kind of gave me a taste of the real world of fashion and now I'm craving more and more!
Oh .. And then...
I race to the bathroom running into someone and I look up and see WILL SMITH.
Uh HELLO?! THE WILL SMITH!!
It was like in those movies when you randomly run into your idol and your like woah.
That was me, oh little me sporting a LBD in platforms shaking eyes wide open on the fact that Will Smith was indeed 2inches away and ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME!
Enough said, must keep cool, and I ran into the bathroom, called my boyfriend to tell him everything!
Yeah last night was the best night of my life so far. I think so many bad things happened to me in 2012 that destiny has led me to good things in 2013! Seriously, 2013 is my year to shine in the fashion industry, I'm super excited to be able to work with amazing people, go to an amazing photography college and go further and further in my career!
This was a glimpse of what I'm going to be in 10years.
Hopefully, :)
Here are some photos from my shoot yesterday:)
Enjoy,
