The last few hours leading up to the catwalk can be both exciting and overwhelming. As the stage is getting prepared and chairs are being lined up, it is much like the calm before the storm. On the outside, everything is quiet and tranquil . But behind the scenes, models, hair & makeup artists, designers, and stylists are hard at work putting the final touches on their collections before they’re presented to the world. The process of getting ready for the final moment where MIND . BALI . SOUL took the stage, involved hair stylists spending time braiding and weaving traditional balinese flowers into the models hair, makeup artists painting the model’s faces to look effortless and naturally beautiful , and stylists making sure the bright and exotic prints of Bali fit the models bodies perfectly.  We felt a special connection with our whole team, and shared great conversations and laughs as we got ready to take the stage. We’re so thankful for everyone’s hard work and the part everyone played in bringing MIND . BALI . SOUL  to life. It was definitely a night to remember!

Focus and coordinations! Practicing for the opening performance of our show – one of our favorite parts of the night! Watch the show here: https://youtu.be/soJUfupL7uc

Adorned in details and more details – a  waterfall of Balinese flowers. One of our favorite hair looks of the night!

The final look of the night, bold and natural. Just how we like it! 

That’s a wrap, time to celebrate!
All smiles coming off the runway. 

Congratulations to these beauties Julia Friedmann and Mckenna Berkley on their first ever runway show! You both looked stunning and effortless, and we hope it was everything you dreamed it would be.
