body coral fashion show

This show marked my first DAY time event, and now that I've seen these photos, it's going to be hard to revert back to night venues The sun was shining and Body Coral was in full effect!!!  I've known owner and designer, Gina Abou Sayf since we were fourth graders at St. Patrick Elementary School in Honolulu, Hawaii.  We are partnering on a new project (stay tuned!!) so I thought what better way to kick off our creative endeavor than collaborate for a fashion show featuring her newest line of bikinis at BARE pool!

For this event, I really wanted every woman there to be able to see themselves in at least one look.  No matter what your personal style, Body Coral has a way of making any woman feel super sexy and chic.  I incorporated all the summer's hottest trends and tried to show how diverse the line can be.

Super special thanks to my amazing hair and makeup team Brianne Stephens (Makeup by Bri) and Melissa Ferreira (www.ferreiramakeupandhair.com) Also thank you to Josh Lang and the Light Group for the hospitality and continued support to let me imagine these events into reality.  Thank you SO much to Ben Garcia and Thomas Gensinger for photographing the entire event!!  Thanks to Gina for teaming up and being there, the models, and everyone who came out to enjoy the show!

BTS!

The first half of the show was really inspired by young, trendy, fresh style.  Playful and chic these looks are for girls that just want to have fun!
