 Oscar Vasquez Photography What an amazing night of Sacramento's most fashionable coming together to celebrate community growth and take in the newest trends to grace the runway for 2020. Hosted by Goodday Sacramento and CBS13's very own reporter, Sabrina Silva, it was a night full of skillful outfit changes, VIP treatment, and the constant flashing of paparazzi camera lights throughout the venue. This year's appropriately dubbed Fashion in the City (FITC), was hosted in an amazing new venue, The Rink Studios, who partnered with DMR Productions to present this year's event.  Host Sabrina Silva | Kondrya Photography After years of renovation in the historical neighborhood of Del Paso Heights, The Rink Studios is an amazing example of community growth, utilizing the potential of a once glorified historical Sacramento neighborhood to collaborate with those working to restore it in attempts to result in greatness. Before we talk about the greatness that ensued during the finale showcases, let's recap what happened during the week prior to the big shows.  DMR Photography Monday was all about hair and makeup. Headed up by the talented folks at Cosmo Beauty Academy, it was an event filled with tips, pointers, and live model demos on everything one needs to know to be successful in the field. This team, led by Soledad Mendez, also slayed all the hair and makeup for the models during the shows.
Tuesday was all about education in the form of a fashion panel including some major players in the Sacramento fashion scene. Led by Emmy award winning talk show host Veronica Castro, the panel included Ryan Hammond of R Douglas Custom Clothier; notable fashion photographer, Tim Engle; accredited attorney and fashion mentor, Uduak Oduok; and international fashion model, Faith Vega. It was a great opportunity to hear about their experiences, struggles, and triumphs, while the audience in attendance got the chance to ask questions to the panel.
Wednesday was an event for all aspiring models, the annual model bootcamp. The workshop mainly focused on runway training, however, it also catered to models seeking advice on how to successfully break into the industry.
Thursday was Fashion on Film, a fun collaboration with the California Film Association. This event juxtaposes short films that revolve around high end avant garde fashion trends and themes. This year focused on the retro vibe and was definitely not one to sleep on. This was DMR Productions' first collaboration with Unbounded Ambition Films for an online series using FITC as one of the principle sets to be the backdrop of the series.  L for Lupus Foundation with REM representative Carrie Jacob | Kondrya Photography Before moving on to the highlight of the week, the finale, let's take a moment to recognize the charity behind the effort. A portion of the bar went to benefit the L for Lupus Foundation, which is a charitable cause DMR Productions is proud to get behind in support. Find out more about the cause at www.lforlupus.com. Event sponsors included Relaxation Energy Mood (REM), JQ Events, Cosmo Beauty Academy, APS Presentations, and CustoMyHair. VIP food was provided by Kru Japanese Contemporary Cuisine, and Locked Barrel. REM went the extra mile and partnered with the L for Lupus Foundation, and created Blood Orange CBD oral drops. A CBD oil drop provides fast results, and long- lasting effects to relieve pain. 50% of the proceeds from the sales will be donated directly to the foundation. For more information on the this and other CBD products you can visit their website at www.reliefenergymood.com  This exclusive annual display of style excellence brought out a plethora of talented designers, gorgeous models, and fashionistas from every walk of life. Friday night showcased the talent of stylist Ashley Goins, who presented a tribute collection inspired by Selena, the late Tejano singer, honoring the 25th anniversary of her passing.

We also took a moment to give a special shout out to everyone who helped make the week come to fruition. It has truly been an honor to continue to be a part of this growing industry in our expanding golden city.  Producers Duane Ram & Jax Buttle | Kondrya Photography To see how far we have come as a production would make any fashionista shine. After a brief speech thanking the audience, sponsors, venue, models, makeup artists, and team, we invited everyone to the after party at Northside Bar a few doors down as well as London downtown, two new vibrant bars joining the Sacramento nightlife scene. And with that, and with a heavy heart, we bid the night adieu. After another amazing year, we can only expect even bigger and better things for the year to come with the next production of FITC, which is already in the works.
