Fall 2016 KCFW - Great Hair & Looks!

 

 
Last month (can you believe it's November already?!?!), I attended Fall's Kansas City Fashion week with Beauty Brands.  Kansas City Fashion Week (KCFW) is a 4 night event hosted twice a year - the last few years, and this past one, at Union Station - and I used to go to almsot every night both times a year, but the last year or so I haven't been able to make it to many (travel, work, kids... life man). So, I was really grateful when Beauty Brands invited me to be part of their team and join them for th evening.

Beauty Brands was a sponsor of the Thursday (October 13th) Chiefs Red Carpet event. They had a booth with tons of fee perfume samples, a huge gift basket of goodies to giveaway and were highlighting Lifing Proof hair products - a new offering of Beauty Brands' - and one of my favorite hair brands! Beauty Brands also did all the models hair for the show - and it was fabulous.

As part of the Chiefs night - the first show of the night was full of Chiefs Cheerleads (past and present), and even some past players showing us how to style fan gear.  See below for some of my favorites from the collections that followed.


 Something new this year (at least as far as I know!) was a Runway-type challenge.  Many designers took the same Chiefs t-shirt and turned it into their own, using it in an outfit.  Some of the below looks - again, all using the same red Chiefs tee - were my favorite, with the last one by Kiana Godsey winning (as voted on by the judges).


Barbara Bultman Designs might have been my favorite show (if I had to pick just one!).  I loved the fringe - and love that it could be added on as an accessory, but also was definately the main event of an outfit.  I am trying to figure out how to get my hands on a piece.

Roger Figueroa had very bold and contemporary pieces.  My favorite piece was this blue graffiti art gown - I just loved it!


Kiana Godsey had a beautifully soft and Springy collection. I loved how each piece flowed seasmlessly into the next.  It certainly made me ready for Spring (and we haven't even hit Winter yet!).


MCK Brands was one of my favorite shows of the night. Her jewelry collection is truely an art that stood on their own as models walked down the runway wearing all black.  Many pieces were like nothing I had every seen - like the below shoulder cuff!
