Portland Fashion Week: Day 1

It's Portland Fashion Week time again and this year the shows are shaping up to the be the best yet. As the associate producer and backstage manager I am fully immersed in all the intensity and craziness of the backstage area. Honestly it is my favorite place to be during a fashion show and I love working for PFW every year! Each day I will be posting photos taken backstage by the lovely Natasha Lampitt. Here is the first installment.

With thirteen designers and 111 looks, last night's show was a big one. I have been working with Portland Fashion Week for four years and I have never seen the backstage area so full of people and so crazy! There were a lot of amazing designs and here are a few of them, along with some basckstage shots.
