Alizé

Alize is one of our clients, whom we held an event for in Miami beach last week. I was working on the model's uniforms, getting the clothing items, shoes and branding to create the final 'look' for the event. This was a challenge because the coordinator waited until last minute to send this to me for purchasing and we ended up running into some problems. Since a lot of our shopping for model outfits are done online there is never a guarantee that it will arrive in time and in store shopping it is usually difficult to find the amount of items in the sizes and colors we need all at one location. The first dilemma we encountered was that we would have to hit 5+ stores to fulfill the numbers of several of the items. Next we found that several items we had picked out were now discontinued and no longer in stores, which called for last minutes changes that had to be sent for approval from the client before we could make a purchase (frustrating!). And finally, the day before it was discovered that almost all of the shoes were the wrong sizes due to confusion in sizes when ordering converse shoes which are sized differently than normal shoes...errr!

Many phone calls and questions and emails later we got the shoes, but the models did have to work with the fact that the stores in Miami didn't carry half sizes.

A few frantic and stressful days, but it all turned out great so I was so proud of our efforts!
