Print '09




The Print ‘09 show was last week and Pink Avenue Models staffed trade show models for a couple of the booths. This was a 6 day show with long hours but the models did great! Here are a few pictures of one of our models from the trade show.

Thank you Brittany for working this event! You did a great job and looked amazing!

Fall Has Arrived!!

Summer is officially over in Chicago and we are really sad about it. Pink Avenue Models might be sad about summer being over but we are really excited about fall fashion! Fall fashion is amazing this season. Our promotional models, trade show models and print models will all be wearing these looks this season, make sure you do to.

Models hair can be worn up or down this season. The biggest looks are messy ponytails, wavy hair, low buns, and braids (think LC). These styles have all been worn on the runway and by celebrities and are so easy to do!

Fall make up is bold and amazing ... think red and plum colored lips, thick black eyeliner (liquid liner works best), shimmery dark eye shadow, teal and blue eye shadows, shiny and sparkly lip gloss, dark nail polish, and so much more. Models can really be creative this season but remember never wear too much make up!

You will see lots of leather, dresses, cardigans, and tights this season. This is what our models will be wearing.

Shoes, all women love shoes and models really love them! Jeweled flats, any type of boot or platform is huge this fall. Color is in so get bold and wear blue, purple or even red shoes.

Accessories can make or break your outfit. There are a lot of decorated purses and bold jewelry that will be seen this season. Make sure you choose wisely.

We mentioned hairstyles, make up, clothing, shoes and accessories today. Follow these trends to blend in with fall fashion this season. We know our models will be wearing these items at their events and so should you.

New York Fashion Week is only going on for 2 more days. It started September 10th and ends on September 17th and is focusing on Spring 2010. This means that for 7 whole days New York is full of fashion, crazy hair and make up, new trends and gorgeous models! Not to mention all of the parties!

This year the designers are amazing. Michael Kors, Derek Lam, Diane Von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Max Azria, Narciso Rodriguez, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and so many others. The guests are famous and gorgeous. Amanda Bynes, Bruce Willis, Mischa Barton, Tori Spelling, Hillary Duff, Nikki Hilton and Kim Kardashian were all spotted watching the runway shows.

So what should we expect for Spring 2010? Classy, fitted, neutral colors, bright colors, pastels and so much more. These models are rocking the runway and New York is full of awesome events and after parties for Fashion Week. New York Modeling agencies should be proud of their models because from what I've seen they all look amazing. Pink Avenue Models loves fashion, models and everything about the industry and we have really enjoyed New York Fashion Week so far, only 2 more days.
