One of my new goals is to invest money into a nice Nikon camera. I went to this awesome fashion show but wish I would have captured better images. The models were also walking sort of fast ha ha.

Kristie Foster of KrisTEES and Cynthia Radalj of Candy Plum boutique are definitely putting Astoria, Queens on the Fashion map. After doing a splendid job on Fashion Night Out, These two boutique owners have joined forces yet again to bring the "Second Annual Astoria Fashion Show" held at Central Lounge.

Not only in my personal opinion is Central the best venue in Astoria, but they also gave a complimentary glass of wine and a goodie bag with convenient discounts to Local businesses. This was my first time visiting the event and I left impressed.

The doors opened at 6 p.m. and the runway started at 9 p.m where I can guess anywhere from 300-500 people gathered up anticipating the show. Beautiful models took over the runway with what was mostly an 80's fall trends including harem pants, headbands, over sized shirts with creative leggings, and a few metallic pieces.

The show started off with a fun dance segment by Alexandra Ausman and Danielle Sheither which then followed the Candy Plum Collection, and before KrisTEES went on there was more dancing from Hitomi Nozawa with guest Shoh Eshiguro who visited from japan.

Laughter and Mingling was seen all over central lounge that night. I plan to visit and try to cover more events for all of you. Be sure to check out these great designers at Candy Plum and KrisTEES, believe me its worth a look and further more a few satisfying purchases.
