GOCA: The Elegance of Maturity Fashion Show

GOCA: The Elegance of Maturity Fashion Show

How happy am I for Omar and Gordana, the dynamite duo behind GOCA? These two young rising stars shined very brightly a  few weeks ago when they held their first full fashion show here in Chicago. I’m so proud of them! Did you know they were picked to show at New York Fashion Week? They came home with raving reviews, and haven’t stopped yet.

The “Elegance of Maturity” was held at a really cool spot called 1520 W Fulton. It was an all-white space with blue lighting…very cool and glamorous. The night was a playful mix of old and new, tradition and modernism, young and old. Tea cups were spotted everywhere…because what is more elegant or mature than a cup of tea? 😉 It was a night to remember, and I’m so glad I had a chance to support Omar and Gordana (who I STILL haven’t met, although I met her brother! lol).

Here’s a little peek of the show, and a video of the final walk:

 
Some of my favorite looks included the feathered jacket, and the white dress with feather detailed pleats. LOVE. And the white body-skimming dress is a stunner.
Since I was coming straight from work, my outfit had to mix business with pleasure. lol. So, I pulled out one of my favorite dresses—a black and white striped long peplum dress from Ashley Stuart–and paired it with a bright yellow shrug and a wide black belt from Lane Bryant. The effect was modern and fresh, and the yellow made me feel happy all day!

I had fun hanging with Kelly, an awesome make-up artist…check out her fun eyeshadow!

And I always love love love seeing Raven from Chicago Fashion Connect. She always looks so chic and glamorous, right?

And it wouldn’t be an event without Cha’rron from CChicChicago.com! 🙂 She makes me SO happy every time I see her!

Did I mention that the room was filled with an other-worldly BLUE hue??!!!!

I know this post was a long time coming, but maybe it’ll just remind people of what a great event it was. 🙂 I can’t wait to get my very own GOCA dress!
