Explore The Chameleon In You!
Hair and wardrobe styling are my passion, especially for makeovers and special events. On January 31st the 1st Annual NC’s Beauty and Barbers United (BBU) Awards Showcase & Fashion Show was presented by Tim Johnson of Tim Johnson’s Productions in Raleigh, NC. The showcase celebrated the Legacy of Leaders in the beauty industry, as well as top stylist and barbers who have mastered their craft. I had the honor of styling two models for the Red Carpet and providing the first of many great and memorable impressions for the guests.
Autumn
When Tim asked me to style the models for the red carpet at the BBU showcase I was super excited .
This is an opportunity to produce some avant-garde(French term for innovative work in the field of art and/or culture) looks .
Autumn’s look is a very nostalgic and classical. I created her top stitching together with three pre-fabricated beaded collars from Hancock Fabrics. The skirt was purchased from a local thrift store . Pleats were stitched into the skirt then stuffed with tulle.
Autumn’s Red Carpet hair is the Marilyn Monroe. Medium size sections of Autumn’s hair were placed around pipe cleaners (found in the craft section at Wal-mart) in a figure-8 formation to create her Wavy Bob Afro.

Alexi
The red carpet look for Alexi pushes the boundaries of beauty into a territory that’s daring. Although metal garments are usually associated with protection and strength, the intricate layers of form fitting petals of metal exclaims the vest created by Zack Shell to be a bold yet fashion forward kind beautiful work of art . The leather miniskirt and spike knee high boots add a very sexy edge.
