First LaTeaDa Fashion Show was a Success!
The first annual LaTeaDa fashion show was a huge success. Designers Timothy Westbrook, artist in residence at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, and Barbara Bates from NBC’s Fashion Star showed clothing and accessories on real women models. Barbara showed retro, 50’s inspired dresses, and a GORGEOUS leather jacket with jeweled buttons. Another huge accomplishment on Bates’s part was her gold blousy top with bell bottoms.
The Leather Jacket
Pfister Hotel Artist In Residence Timothy Westbrook showed an exceptional showcase of embellished dresses that were all either handmade or sewn on a 1920s treadle sewing machine. The mini-collection included a “Queen of the Night” dress that was black and purple and looked exactly what I would have envisioned the Queen of the Night to wear. Westbrook also showed a black and green dress with a black chiffon bodice and a green skirt. The skirt was made out of fabric with audio cassette tape woven into it. Timothy also sold scarves made out of the same material. At a street festival, people tie-dyed dresses made out of old Pfister bed sheets with Super Soakers filled with either turquoise or coral dye. Timothy showed the dresses at the show.

All in all, the first annual LaTeaDa fashion show was an amazing achievement. With LaTeaDa 2013 being planned, hopefully it will measure up to the first!
