eZWay by Anita Mayberry aka Miss Sparkles
INTERNATIONAL FASHION SHOW COVERAGE WITH MS. SPARKLES Exhilarating new changes began as I flew over international waters, right into what has been known as the fashion capital of the world, Paris, France. Paris Fashion Week in February was absolutely thrilling! All the fashion buzz of the latest crazes that will set trends on fire for the next few months to come, stem from this epicenter. My experience and exposure would not end there, as my International Fashion Show exclusives also took me on the “Vogue” train to Milan, Italy, where luxury and lavish styles are all you see! Fly with me and soar to new levels of fabulous heights along my European journey, filled with joyous surprises, all while doing it the eZWAY! PARIS FASHION WEEK INTERNATIONAL The location for ‘Beautiful You Fashion Tour’ was hosted at the fabulous L’Hotel du Collectionneur in Paris, France. The BYFT was created sixteen years ago by the multi-talented worldly events planner, Mr. Dewayne Debonair. In addition to expanding nationwide all over the USA, it has now become an international treasure over the past six years, spanning approximately thirty countries! Wow! Go big or go home! Passion with purpose is how Mr. Debonair rules. He believes in being inclusive to every orientation, gender and creed, showcasing their beautiful spirit and unique qualities, This offers a fashion show for those of all ages, sizes and types including those with special needs. I felt a lot of love as everyone who participated was friendly, kind, and supportive of one another, building each other up. There are many dimensions to a fashion show before models and designers present and showcase their couture collections. Models will practice walking the runway to get used to the layout, pace, and stance that has been requested by either the director of the fashion show and/or the designer themselves. Time constraints can happen where this isn’t always an option. However, Mr. Debonair, went that extra mile to make sure all the models felt comfortable, confident, and relaxed with how everything would appropriately play out for everyone participating on the runway by doing several run-throughs. The next layer comes in pieces as models can be divided up between hair, make-up, and sizing for the designer’s garments. This is where time tends to fly very quickly in making sure all models are fitted with the right pieces and that they worked flawlessly with the hair styles and make up, matching the image that the designer wanted. I’d like to take this time to comment on the fact that this was one of the first fashion shows I’ve attended where everything was coordinated with ease and flow. Helping with this layering piece would be the lovely professional, celebrity makeup artist, event coordinator, and founder of GeeknBlush, Pamela Lhd. She was fabulous at creating such an even steady flow for everyone and held such an amazing high vibrational energy that kept spirits bright. Thank you, Pamela! You are amazing!
