Have you ever seen a celeb strut down the red carpet and wished you could wear something just like that? Then you realize that you probably can’t afford a $5000 dress you may only wear once?
Faviana‘s gowns and cocktail dresses were designed based on this concept and resemble the top designers looks for a fraction of the price.
When I was hired to style them, I had to make sure with accessories and shoes that they looked like these red carpet dazzlers but wearable enough for girls going to formal events like homecoming and prom.
Did I mention I had to do this with $0 for my budget??
This stylist had to get creative and not only use my own designs, my own vintage pieces, and also jewelry from other designer friends like Beth Lauren. I also had to make sure I was able to return everything purchased so my assistant carefully re-tagged each item and taped the soles of every shoe. It was quite the challenge when there are about 30-40 dresses to capture. Check it out below…
Below is also a behind the scenes of one of my favorite looks—partly because it’s a fun Gatsby style dress and partly because it was one of the few samples that didn’t need any clamping or other tricks to make it fit. I love that you can also see how the shoes were taped on the bottoms so I could return them after the shoot. Oh the life of a stylist!
