local motion was a huge success. tickets sold out and a lot of money was raised for charity. if you’ve never been backstage before a fashion show, it’s total chaos. people are running around from hair to makeup and back again, getting last minute wardrobe adjustments, practicing their walks. its full of frantic energy, excitement and anticipation. high heels and energy drinks abound. here are a few of the things that caught my eye backstage:
