Getting into FIT's BFA Fashion Show

Each year, FIT does a BFA fashion show for the graduating class. Intimate apparel had our pre judging the past Monday to pick out those they want to be presented in the great hall for the judges to pick the actual garments for the show, and for open exhibit to the public.

the garments in the great hall.

There were over 250 garments on display in the great hall, and you can see how much hard work was put into each one. It was amazing to see the many different styles and talent our graduating class had! It must have been hard for the judges, I wonder what factors were more important to them as they looked at our garments.

me and my two looks from my collection.

We were promised the list of the garments chosen will be posted by 6, but we were delayed (with one student screaming "you have to meet your deadline too" haha), and it was a really nerve wrecking time period waiting. Luckily my classmate handed out chocolate to calm ourselves.

Finally, the "messenger" had the list with everyone almost clamoring over her as she posted it. I wasn't close enough to the list but my friend had screamed she got both of her looks in and hugged me. And there, I saw my name and outfit two (my black look) on our list! I really shocked that they chose my cotton look over my fashion look since I had last time to execute the cotton, and there were so many black garments. But I'm also happy because that's my sexier and more current "me" that will be representing me on the runway. What's also great is that 15 looks total from our class got in! Now I'm hoping we close the show like the year before us ;)

Stay tuned for photos from my shoot for two of my looks from the collection.

New me, new blog.

I used to use judyhimechan as my username for blogs, tumblrs, etc, but that was when I was still into the cutesy Japanese style. Ever since about two years ago, I've been searching for the real me, the one that really feels like me. Sure cutesy was fun, but I wasn't feeling myself. Finally, after a lot of life experiences and exploring different styles, I've been shaped into this new mature Judy.

I'm in my last semester of intimate apparel design at Fashion Institute of Technology, wherein we have to create a collection as our senior thesis. I've always been fond of "ma cherie" meaning, my dear. Maybe because it is my favorite shampoo, or the name itself just sounds so beautiful, so I've used that as my collection name. The more I said it, the more I loved it so I decided to use that as my new blog name, so it would read my dear, Judy.

Now that I've completed my second look for my thesis, the last one (bias gown) shouldn't be too bad (although I am making myself another gown for myself simultaneously, call me crazy), I should have more time to blog. Here I can share with everyone my designing, modeling, photography and make up artist journey. Those are the four things I love to do and share with the world.
