Though I love nothing more than the mere smell of fashion in the air as New York City comes to life with designers, bloggers, models and fashionistas from all over the world, I set out this season at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and instead headed out to Boston.
Boston?? Yes, Boston has fashion week. This season meant a lot me on a personal level. It was simply divine now that I look back. In the past year God has opened doors and closed some, allowing me to see the ones that were really standing in my corner to see me succeed as well as pruned a few weeds. With nothing but faith that God would give me the strength to do all things, I pulled together my entire spring season. Strenuous? Without a doubt but that also fueled my creativity for this line.
Romás spring/summer 2012 was inspired by the ultimate tropical vacation. (Note to self- schedule that!) I created this collection under the influence of the tropical islands of Barbados and the vibrant color schemes from the island. I could totally envision myself relaxing on the beach, having fun, and looking fashionable as I did it! The line had to have something chic and classic for every occasion that could possibly arise while on vacation. It's simple sophistication. I hope that you like what I came up with.
On September 24, 2011 Romàs by Linda Rowe Thomas Spring/Summer 2012 themed "White Noise" debuted to a full house at the Cyclorama Art Center in Boston. As the soundtrack, cleverly cued by the sound of white noise began, I danced in placed just a bit. The all-white collection with just a splash of color; oranges and a hint of blues took it's moment in the night. Eleven beautiful ladies, with the gift of quick changes, gracefully brought months of hard work to life. Important side note: thanks Jason Nelson for always putting my tracks together and kudos to the hair and makeup teams!!
The show was over in a flash, as it always is and I timidly took my finale walk. I must admit, that's my least favorite part. I'm such a behind the scenes girl, but I do so appreciate seeing the faces that support me!!!
So what’s next? My annual fashion show/fundraiser for the young burn survivors of Camp Sunshine and Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas... and then it's on to the next one!
See you soon New York, I'll definitely be back!
Fashionably yours,
Linda
