Last Thursday, I had the chance of a blogger-lifetime to attend Atlanta Apparel Mart to pay a visit the Judith March & Missy Robertson booths and take some behind-the-scenes pictures of the spring collections. It. was. incredible!
Not only did I get to see the market gals in action, but I got snap a few pictures of all of the new merchandise. After spending about an hour in the booths, I headed to a press conference with Stephanie Carter, Missy Robertson, & Christy Carlisle Smith. The Missy Robertson for Southern Fashion House line is truly phenomenal and hearing the story was a great way to get to know the process of how the collection came to be more intimately. I even brushed aside the butterflies and asked a few questions of the leading ladies. They were too sweet to pose for a picture with me after the press conference!
While there, I met up with the lovely girls of Village Boutique in Auburn and Cotton & Twine in Dalton. They were all so kind to give me a few "mart tips," and we had a blast chatting it up about the fashion surrounding us. And then...there was a fashion show. And I don't think I stopped smiling for the entire thing.
Colors, bell-sleeves, and embroidery strutted down the catwalk while I tapped my camera as fast as it would go. I was so in my element and loved every minute of being there. I left with a hug (!) from Stephanie and a day of awesome memories.
Be on the look-out at your local Judith March retailers for all of the new SFH goodies coming your way!
Hey girl! I'm from Atlanta as well (actually in Savannah for school, but the bf is up here so that leads me back here often-- how about this ice storm btw) I used to work the mart shows every Jan and July show, it was so much fun..but also exhausting.. haha)
