VITA Fashion Show: Lynchburg, VA

Last weekend I attended the VITA fashion show in Lynchburg, VA.  For those that follow my blog you know I'm making it a point to find and attend local fashion shows. Unfortunately with the VITA show promotion wasn't great and I found out about this show 3 days before it happened so my expectations were a bit low.  Backstage chaos was a bit too visible to guests, an apparent limited organization was in the air, and the lighting was less than great (unless you were a panting on the wall, it was a art gallery after all). Aside of their faults the entertainment was great, the models were stunning, and the designs covered a great range of creativity. I'll give VITA a slight break since this was the first year at this venue. Did I mention lighting? I can't tell you how important lighting is to a fashion show, a spot light at the entrance and at the end of the runway/turning point would be more than enough, its called key lighting and a little goes a long way.

Check back this week for some photos from VITA's show.
