# 7 - Look Book: The Creative Method of Presenting Fashion!

Just a year ago, I interned with the talented Loris Diran during the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and also volunteered to assist him during Fashions Night Out in September at his Boutique in SoHo, New York City. It was such a fun night and I got to meet so many important people in the Industry. Seeing his Spring 2010 Collection live on the Runway was so inspiring that ever since, I follow him and his work!

Below you can see his work in the S/S 2011 Look Book Photo Shoot! A look book is a collection of photos compiled to show off a designers clothing line.

Kleinfeld Trunk Show!!!

It comes to no surprise that trunk shows are Especially Popular in the Wedding Industry. Afterall, no bride wants to be caught dead wearing the SAME wedding dress as another bride. (talk about BRIDEZILLA!!!)

A trunk show is a special event within the fashion world in which a designer puts on a special display of his or her work for review by a select group, (its best clients). They show off styles from an upcoming season before they are made available to the general public!!!

SO...
