"I’m happy to say that it was probably the best fashion show of this kind that I’ve seen here in DC. It was well-produced, the designers were mostly of very good quality…and hell, the event had exciting energy. The organizers did a great job crafting an air of cool around the whole thing, and when I went backstage to talk to some of the models and designers, the feeling of accomplishment over a job well-done was infectious."
