Angie’s Models & Talent International 2010 Gala Show Case

Over the weekend I had the privilege of attending Angie’s Models & Talent International 2010 Gala Show Case. Angie’s Models is one of the biggest modeling agency here in Ottawa. She discovered The Notebook hottie Ryan Gosling when he was 14 living in Cornwall, a small town about 2 hours from Ottawa.

The show was at the Canadian War Museum (explaining why there are tanks in the background) and consisted of various merchants and designers. There were showcases from companies such as Gap kids, The Bay, Bluenotes to independent designers. Some of the collections that caught my eyes were Amber Watkins, Demu Label, Stella & Dot, Sylvery Gray, and Anastasia Lomonova. But the main purpose of the show is to showcase the models to local and international scouts. So of course, all the models looked great and overall Angie definitely put on an amazing show.

AMTI’s Annual Fashion Showcase
On Saturday, I had the privilege of being invited to Angie’s Models and Talent International showcase at the Ottawa War Museum hosted by Angie Sakla-Seymour herself. Several prominent designers, (including my boss, Rachel Sin) were all on deck to lend their designs to the runway that evening. What I liked about the event was two-fold. First, the atmosphere of the event was electric. Besides sitting across several representatives from Ford and Wilhelmina Models (intimidating to say the least and made me a tad bit starstruck even though I have no desire to be a model whatsoever!), everything about the event made me giddy with delight. The music, lighting, people and energy made the entire evening magical. It could have also been the fact that I had been a fashion show ‘virgin’ but nevertheless I was trying very hard to keep my mouth closed and off the floor in awe. After all, I am trying to do a job. However starstruck I may be. Secondly, I loved that Angie’s showcase incorporated every single one of her models, including the most adorable little boys and girls that I’ve ever seen.

Also, I had a VIP pass people. VIP. Never in my life have I been considered VIP. Amaziiiiiing.

I loved the use of colour throughout every designer’s collection. Bright patterns and colours seemed to be the universal theme of the night, including fierce cuts, tailored-to-a-tee designs and billowing gowns worthy of Oscar De La Renta himself.

Pictures to come soon but I can’t promise they’ll be Picasso-worthy. I literally snapped them off my I-Phone whilst taking pictures for Rachel, trying to capture models walking 50 miles per hour and picking my jaw off the ground from being in amazement. Seriously those all happened.

Congratulations to Emmanuelle & to Michael L for bookign the print campaign for Canex!
