Artsy Apparel x Richard Hallmarq

Jenny and I are extremely thankful and fortunate to be able to attend a very special fashion show this past weekend-- Sacramento's and Project Runway season 11's Richard Hallmarq!  Located at The Park Ultra Lounge, Jenny, myself and our lovely guests to the event enjoyed the intimate setting, photo booth and the musical guest and guest model Jill Jones (her music reminded me a lot like Prince-- and who doesn't like Prince's music? Honestly.)!  Hallmarq was a very fashion forward designs made with comfortable yet well draped jersey-- and as if his designs weren't inspiring enough, he opened his show with a touching speech about following dreams, having faith, pursuing what you love, passion and being humble.  It's good to see that, unlike some, there are still people who can still stay level-headed after exposure to fame.


 

Hallmarq's collection consists of women's dresses with a twist of casual (yes you guessed it!) jersey knit fabric for comfort. All dresses are black and white which is perfect because with a touch of bright colored accessories the consumer will be able to stand out from the rest of the crowd. The outfits will posses a trendy yet luxurious feeling for going out. The draping of his garments symbolizes the soft feminine touch, but edgy.  One garment that stood out was a dress that had a hood. This is rare among any outfit I have seen. It is a great alternative since the weather in Sacramento can be windy if you decide to go around town for an event such as this. To leave off with this post I decided to link a video to Hallmarq's last words for the night about his passion, dedication, and gratitude.
