Fashions From The Darkside 2008

by Jen of Blue Alvarez Designs

This is a quickie post about a show that I've done two years in a row now that happened on Sept. 19th - Fashions From The Dark Side!

This stuff is a little outside my regular purview, ranging into the goth and fetish scene (relax, this post is kid-appropriate). I didn't produce all the outfits I wanted to do, but most of the work I finished I was really happy with. Here are a few photos of the knits and pants I did, all courtesy of Mike Estes:










You can see more photos of other designers' fashions and the event itself on my blog and at Mike Estes' Myspace page.

This event is only once a year, but it's part of a weekly night at the Asylum in Portland, ME, called Plague. If you have even a passing familiarity with, say, NIN or Bauhaus, think black is pretty cool, and like to dance, you should check it out.

All in all the night was rockin', I danced my little black heart out, and even sold those kick ass gloves! On a scale of 1 to 11, I think this shot of Joie sums it up best:
