Fashion Takeover Showcase Pt. 2
FTS Pt2 was curated by Rochelle Taylor and executed beautifully on November 5th, 2022.
As some of you who follow my social media will know, it is really amazing going from being a featured model in the FTS PT.1 production in 2021 to being a featured designer in FTS PT.2 in 2022. Held at the Tripoli Shrine Center on 29th & Wisconsin Ave in their main hall on November 5th, 2022. Rochelle Taylor is one of those community members I've identified as being really exceptional at creating opportunities for upcoming creatives within Milwaukee. I admire her tenacity and ability to make connections with folx that last beyond the completion of any event she curates.
So, this year as a designer the experience was different. I got a chance to relax and just think about my craft for each model. I helped coach them to give me the energy I knew each model was stockpiling. As you can see from these pictures, this was unique opportunity for each model. Below, I will breakdown each outfit and who each of the models are that's wearing them.

I want to thank Rochelle for creating this amazing showcase and trusting me to close out the space with my line. I have mad respect for her work and her vision of the fashion industry in Milwaukee. I want to thank each of my models and their determination to bring my creative energy onto the runway. I want to say a special thank you to my friend Bobbi for walking the runway for the first time because I wanted her to. I want to also thank my friend Solo & my housemate Zeke for attending his event and watching me rock the runway with my designs.
Peace & Blessing Family, Annia.
