FLD Fashion Show, Detroit

| Shikote

I went to Fotoula Lambros’ fashion show this past Saturday at Exodus in Greektown.  When I arrived, the buzz backstage was very positive.  The models all looked great and ready to go.  Laura Rose was in the middle of them all checking over their hair and doing some last minute primping.  I grabbed a cocktail and found a great spot to watch the show near Laur Nash, the event’s photographer.

I was really impressed with the visuals for this show.  There were three screens adjacent, one with footage of a girl swimming in a beautiful gown–she looked like she was falling on purpose!  The entire patio of Exodus was painted white which really added to the New York City effect of the show.  I’m excited to see the beginnings of a true fashion scene in Detroit.  There were some very sharp outfits in attendance!

The fashion show begins!

I got one good shot with my iPod.

The rest of these photos were taken by Laur Nash:

Fotoula dyed this fabric herself!

Beautiful dress!

F A S H I O N !!!!!!!!

Fotoula looked boss!  I really love the lion pendant she’s wearing.

Laura Rose, Fotoula’s lead hair-stylist, gave her a cute little cake and a huge smile!  Happy Birthday Fotoula!

Here’s a pic of me outside the show in Greektown!

You can see more of Fotoula and her fashions, Laura Rose, and Laur Nash at Workroom Detroit.

Big Ones!

These dreads are huge!  They will matt down over time and become solid.  They’re so fluffly when they’re fresh!

Rodney’s headband is perfect for his dreads!

Look at that huge one on the bottom ^

Look at those huge dreads!

Rodney’s hair is going to take some daily maintenance to get his dreads where he wants them.  Keep them separated and twist the ends.  Wrapping them at night will help a lot.  I do not recommend palm-rolling these locks.  It would disorganize the rope pattern.

Josh’s Dreads After 10 Weeks

Forming nicely!

Tight rubberbands can cause kinks in the dreads.  If you use a rubberband, don’t put it too tight, and try to put your ponytail in a different spot each time.

Summertime!

Wow Josh’s hair gets really blonde in summer!  These dreads are looking great!  Josh works on them a lot, and it shows.  Here’s a pic from when they were first done:

Thanks for the pics Josh!   See you soon!
