It was early on a Sunday morning and the banter from the MCs before the runway show was driving me insane forcing me to down my mimosa faster than I should have. But once the actual fashion show got started, it was a really fun show to watch. Some of the most talented designers in Austin plus one New Yorker showed off their latest designs last weekend at the Austin Threads Exclusive Fashion Show. But of course, the show was not lacking some criticism from me.
Malissa Long is talented and I like her designs, but the majority of the dresses that she showed this night were designs that I have seen from her for about a year now. The one thing I haven't seen from her before was the rainbow dress which I kinda wanted to lick because it looked like a giant popsicle. The popsicle dress was a really fun new aesthetic from her and I would like to see more from this, which was completely disjointed from her older neutral looks. I'm excited to see more new stuff from her in the future and hopefully a more cohesive collection.
