Michelle Helene Debuts at New York Fashion Week!

Michelle Helene is a designer that launched her line in 2014. Although her line is already established, it is very exciting to see a designer show their first collection at New York Fashion Week.

She chose a MAC makeup artist to work with. They designed the looks for the models for her presentation.

It was hectic backstage, but it was a lot of fun.

Prive did the hair.

What do models do while they’re in the chair? The same thing we do 🙂

There was a huge crowd waiting for the presentation to start.

Crazy! I took this picture because I just didn’t think I could describe it adequately!
The presentation was futuristic in the setting.

Michelle was so cute and she was obviously very excited about her first show.

I pushed through the crowd on the right side (it was like roller derby. I think I took no less than 5 elbows to the ribs!).

Her collection is strong and eclectic, but wearable.

She has a style that is rooted in fabrics, textures and global inspiration.
