There was an art exhibit/fashion show last night at Bar Basic.  There were so many things to look at, it would have been impossible to be bored.  There was were artists painting, body art, jewelry, great music, a fun crowd, and of course a fabulous fashion show.  The FGI Focus group styled the show using some of the hottest models that SanDiego has to offer.  They used a select few fashion designers who are involved in the Passport to Style event taken place the week of September 5-14, 2008.  I was one of the designers who was showcased for the event.  I got to meet other talented designers and see their own unique and very creative styles. 

And, for all you out there who are in support of local artists and designers, I need your help.  The Passport to Style event is a contest for lots of scholarship money and exposure.  The designer wins based on how many people vote for their designs during the fashion week.  Starting on September 5, stop by Kate Ross Boutique in North Park, buy your passport, and vote for me!!  Please see the flyers below for details and please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments.  email: brooke@bcatthreads.com

I just came across someone that I wanted to share with you. I met this woman at a fashion mixer that I attend monthly. We met a few months back and now she is one of those pleasant suprises that I run into every few meetings. She is an artist who is now interested in creating textiles. Basically, transforming her art into fabric, so then someone like me can transform her fabric into art all over again. She just put up a blog page where she showcases some of her work. She recently sent me a link and I am really excited about it. I love her style and think its close to my own style. I can see us collaborating in the future to create some amazing peices. Check out her link:  http://www.mawinkleadesign.blogspot.com/

Style Explorers and The Closet Party, both of San Diego, Ca put on a fashion show inspired by the 60's Italian Movie "La Dolce Vita". I took some of my designs and put them in the show. It is always a good feeling when you see your stuff on the runway. Check it out for yourself!

I am participating in "The Art of Fashion" with the Timken Art Museum this Saturday evening. They have chosen three designers who are taking part in the show to be on "San Diego Living" to show their designs and give the audience an idea of what to expect to see that night. Watch me on Fox 6 News at from 8:30-9:30. If you have any interest in art history, this is something you won't want to miss. You will see how some of the most popular art from our history has been transformed into modern day designs. I've seen everyone's work for the show and I was in awe myself. Everything was beautifully done and handcrafted with the most exciting details. Tickets are still on sale, so it is something you are interested in, please call (619)239-5548 x100 I'll see you at the show!

It may seem as if the content in BcatThreads.com has been at a stand still, and for the most part it has. What you can't see, though, is the behind the scenes coverage of what has been going on in my design studio. I've been vigurously working on my new fall collection (Brooke Catherine), and I assure you, you will be excited. I've stepped up the game a bit, and decided to make even more high end designs that are sure to turn heads on the run way. Everything is made with the finest fabrics, classic cuts, and perfect style. I've blended peices with wool and silk to make interesting textures and looks that can be worn together or as seperates. I have skirts, dresses, blouses, and the sexiest cropped jackets. I am using colors that accent each other with a beautiful contrast. When I complete my collection, it will be shown during San Diego Fashion Week's FGI Focus fashion designer contest. I cannot wait!! Stay Tuned.

Brooke Catherine will be showing a few of her white peices for the La Jolla Summer White Party XII.  The event will be taking place on July 19 with a fashion show sponsered by The Closet Party, www.theclosetparty.com, and Stylexplorers, www.stylexplorers.com

This should be an exciting event, for it is held every year to gather money for charity.  A white party?  That is so much fun.  Who doesn't look good in white?
