BlacMéra Trunk Show
When I was asked to Cover the Trunk Show for the amazing Couture brand BlacMéra I was not only honored but extremely excited for this opportunity to work with such an amazing brand! Upon arrival I realized the beauty of the atmosphere and the quality of work that accompanied this. The event took place at Donald J. Pliner’s botique in San Jose, and the combination of amazing sushi (provided by Michi in SJ) and a one of a kind brand at a high quality shoe store made for an amazing night! If you missed it the designer told me there would most likely be another event coming soon!
Just to talk about the clothes for a moment… I can’t even begin to describe this truly exquisite brand. BlacMéra is designed by the extremely talent Yuliana Candra who has carefully and constructively interwoven a vision of true femininity and the beauty of cultures of the world to create a modern and bold look catering to the evolving 21st century woman. If you are looking for one of a kind and luxurious craftsmanship you don’t need to go any farther. Each alluring piece is lavished with distinguishing details that have attributed to its international appeal. I can’t say enough great things about the colors and the cuts of each piece of the collection all I can say is that in my opinion images don’t do it justice. What’s great is that BlacMéra also produces many other pieces including jewelry, versatile designs and even a limited Men’s Collection.
What I found was a step above the average in this event was that we used 3 amazing mannequin models. When you have a great product that can be displayed on the beauty of a real woman and the versatility you get with real models really took this event to another level. There were so many people that day that had to stop… stare… and even laugh in disbelief, as there were real people in the windows posing in these garments. I tried capturing a blend of everything including the interaction with the models, as well as the beauty of a live mannequin model. I hope to be a part of this again and can’t wait to see what is in store for this truly amazing brand!
