Independent Designer Runway Show

The Flounce Poppy Dress, Poppyseed by Rebekah Adams

Welcome to Wednesday and The Blended Blog Style!  We hope you'll join us and link up your fashion posts below, and check back each week to see if you are featured!

In September I was excited to attend the Independent Designer Runway Show during Bellevue Fashion Week.  It's been many years since I saw a show, and I'd forgotten how much fun they are.  The creative energy is always so inspiring, and I love seeing what's new for the following season.

Honestly, my first thought upon arriving at the venue was that I was too old and unfashionable to be there.  But soon I found some Seattle blogger friends and a glass of wine, and all was well.

This show was especially interesting because it was sort of Project Runway-esque.  The seven featured designers had been working with a panel of mentors for six months to refine their collections, and at the end of the evening a "winner" was chosen.  Congratulations to Rebekah Adams of Poppyseed for the win!

My favorite looks from the show (and P.S. - props to to the real photographers out there.  It's not easy taking good runway photos):
