Earlier this week, the schedule of events for FFF week were finally unveiled. There are some events that I definintely plan on attending and others that I may pass on but overall I’m excited by what’s planned! I definitely hope that Jibri is somehow involved with this. I would love to be able to see her clothes up close and personal! I’m also excited to see what other up-and-coming designers are out there, besides Monif C and Anna Scholz. It should be a great time.
If any of you guys are planning on attending, leave a comment or email me! I’d love to plan a get together for drinks or something. I’ll most likely be hanging out with Gabi and trying to take over the city lol!
