Whew... What an amazing week! As first time participants in any fashion week, we were a ball of emotions and did not know what to expect. By the end, we realized that we have just gained an experience of a lifetime. Charlotte Fashion Week was a blast and such an inspirational time for fkvintage, we were fortunate to share the runway with fellow fashionistas and amazing talent. We could not have been any happier with our hair stylist, make up artist, and our models.

The moment we have been working so hard for was finally here. We were nervous, stressed, and relieved all at the same time. Once our models walked out onto that runway a huge rush of excitement went through our bodies. Each and every one of our models literally "rocked the runway"

Day Two
Not only did we get to participate in the runway show on Friday night, we got to set up a booth to sell some of our treasures the following Saturday night. As guests were flooding into the lobby eager to watch the recyclable designers hit the runway, we found some of our pieces a new home. This was also a great opportunity to chat about fkvintage with people from all ages, and to scout out some of the coolest fashion forward individuals in Charlotte.

We would like to give a huge thank you to all of those from the Charlotte Seen team, Nadia Becerra for being an AWESOME intern, Luedoria Baker for being a rockstar with hair, Our make up artist for making our models have the coolest lips on the runway, and of course to our beloved fans who attended the event. Be sure to check out charlottefashionweek.com to vote for your favorite recyclable designer by October 4th. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony held October 10th at 7pm located at Bubble Lounge in Charlotte. Come out and enjoy refreshments, fashion, and of course fkvintage.
