Be Part of My Headlining Designer show at NY Fashion Week

Be part of my headlining designer show at NY Fashion Week!


I've been invited to be a headlining designer during a very special NY Fashion Week event in September and I want you to be part of the show!  Being one of the headliners means my jewelry collections are the focus of the presentation and will sashay down the runway on 15 models wearing little black dresses so the jewelry really POPS!!! Being a headliner at an international event like NY Fashion Week is a career making opportunity and a childhood dream come true, a dream that far too many said was impossible..... Being a headliner also means that there isn't a fellow designer to split the costs with this time around so I'm responsible for all of the expenses for my section of the show.  

So, I've launched a 30-day Kickstarter campaign to help raise the funds needed to put on an AMAZING show and cover some of the costs of producing my brand new collection and a special lookbook.  My project rewards include special thank-you listings in my new lookbook, VIP tickets to NY Fashion Week, red carpet photos with me and some of my models, and the opportunity to be the first to purchase pieces hot off the runway and much, much more!!!

You can be part of my show by viewing my Kickstarter Campaign Page and Video, contributing my project and spreading the word via email, Facebook, and Twitter that you support my campaign.  Thanks so much for your support.  I couldn't have made it this far without you.

See you at the show!

Just $2745 and 9 days to go! I want all of you to receive the recognition you deserve for supporting my NYFW show which means I HAVE to reach my goal by 7/20 or nothing happens.http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1078504919/michelle-pajak-reynolds-nyfw-show-new-collection-a

While everyone was out enjoying July 4th BBQ and fireworks, I was in the studio working with these Czechoslovakian 20/0 beads from the 1800's. They'll be part of a gorgeous black agate necklace and bracelet set. There's about 50 beads per inch and they require a .010" sewing needle. I may go blind by the end of this project, but it will be worth it.

Paying it forward...As part of my NY Fashion Week show, I'm bringing along some amazing local talent including models and fashion show manager/producer, Laura Zaleski of Zaleski Productions.  Your support of my project is helping these fantastic women live out their NYFW dream as well. Thank you.

It was three years ago today that I was downsized from my teaching job and now I'm a feature designer at a very special runway show during NY Fashion Week. This wouldn't have happened without all of the wonderful support of the Crafthaus Community. Check out the link below for all of the exciting details about my project and please support it , if you can. Thank you http://ning.it/M5TQaj

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
